Maple Nut Drops

Recipe by: Mary M McBride's Encyclopedia of Cooking Preheat oven to 350 degrees; grease cookie sheets. Cook maple syrup and condensed milk in a heavy pan for about 3 minutes, until thickened. Be careful not to scorch. Cool slightly and add graham cracker crumbs, vanilla extract and chopped nuts. Drop from teaspoon onto prepared pans and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from pan at once. Cookies will be hard if overbaked. Store in jar to soften. Be sure to use sweetened condensed milk, as the results will not be the same with evaporated milk. --
