Directions:
Mix shortening (butter) and brown sugar together. Add slightly beaten eggs. Add vanilla, salt, baking powder, baking soda. Add flour and then add the chopped nuts.

Drop from 1 tsp about inch apart.

To Make Frosting: Brown butter in a cast iron pan.....note: fine line between brown and burned so be careful. More by smell.........do slowly. Add powdered sugar and water.......it says 1/2 cup but that sounds like a lot for three cups of powdered sugar so add the powdered sugar and butter and add water if you need it to desired consistency.
