This is a wonderful recipe I got from my mom when I was a child.
Original recipe makes 3 dozen
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sour cream
1 cup chopped salted cashews
1/2 cup butter
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
3 tablespoons milk
Directions
- Blend together 1/2 cup butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, and sour cream. Add in the baking powder, soda, and flour. Stir in the nuts.
- Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto buttered baking sheets. Cook at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and cool on wire racks.
- To Make the Icing: Heat 1/2 cup butter or margarine in a saucepan until it is light amber colored. Remove pan from heat, and stir in confectioners’ sugar and the milk. I sometimes have to use more milk to get the icing smooth and creamy. Frost cookies.
