Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl and gradually stir dry ingredients into moist ingredients to make a smooth dough. Chill dough in refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Dust a pastry cloth or kitchen towel generously with flour.
• Divide dough into thirds and roll each third out 1/8-inch thick on the prepared pastry cloth. Cut shapes out of the rolled dough with cookie cutters. Place cookies onto ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are barely browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before removing to finish cooling on a wire rack.
• Beat 1 cup softened butter, 3 cups confectioners' sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract, and evaporated milk in a bowl until smooth. Gradually stir 6 cups confectioners' sugar into mixture until combined. Beat frosting hard until fluffy; stir in additional evaporated milk or confectioners' sugar if needed to reach desired consistency. Frost cooled cookies.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Grease cookie sheets, set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl beat the brown sugar and shortening with an electric mixer on medium speed until well mixed.
• Add baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

• Stir in the 2/3 cup nuts.
• Drop dough by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
• Transfer to wire racks and let cool.
• Spread cooled cookies with Browned Butter Frosting.
• If desired, top with additional chopped walnut or walnut halves.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over med-low heat.
• Add brown sugar and stir constantly with wooden spoon.
• After 2-3mins, sugar will melt and mixture will become smooth, then begin to bubble (it's ok if it looks separated at this point).
• Once this happens, stir constantly for 2mins (less if sugar smells like it's burning).
• Carefully add cream and stir for another 2mins.
• Mixture will thicken slightly and look smooth and glossy.
• Remove pan from heat and let cool for 5mins, stirring frequently.
• Beat in confectioners' sugar and vanilla with wooden spoon.
• If frosting seems a bit dry, add more cream, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, until thick, smooth and spreadable.

Steps:

• Cream butter, add sugar and cream well. Beat in eggs, then add sifted dry ingredients, vanilla and nuts.
• Shape into rolls, wrap in wax paper and freeze or put in refrigerator until firm.
• Slice and place about an inch apart on greased cookie sheet. Bake about 12 minutes at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• When done, remove from pan at once with a spatula. Store in a covered container and they will remain crisp.

Steps:

• Cream together shortening and 1 cup sugar. Note: I have recently experimented by substituting 1/4 cup of the shortening for a healthy, butter-flavored margarine -- using all butter or margarine tends to make the cookies spread out and not hold their shape, however). Add pumpkin and egg and cream lightly until fluffy (I usually use a hand mixer for this).
• Combine flour, soda, cinnamon and salt; mix into cream mixture. (I usually switch to a wooden spoon, to keep the mixture light and fluffy -- you don't want to overbeat).
• Fold in butterscotch chips.
• Drop by teaspoons on an ungreased cookie sheet, and bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until done (I sometimes find it takes a little longer, depending on humidity, the size of the cookie, etc.). Refrigerate remaining dough, covered, while other cookies are baking.
• In the meantime, make the frosting: combine the butter and milk in a small saucepan and cook until sugar is dissolved (or, you can cook in the microwave, about 30 seconds+/-). Let cool for several minutes (mixture will be still be warm). Stir in the powdered sugar, sifted, then add vanilla; whisk well until smooth.
• Frost cookies fresh out of the oven and while frosting is still somewhat warm; frosting will harden as it sits out; if necessary, reheat for a few seconds in the microwave until pliable again and/or add a few more drops of milk and restir.

Steps:

• Stir together flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. In another bowl beat sugar and shortening with electric mixer until combined. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat again. Alternately add flour mixture and sour cream, beating after each addition. Stir in chopped nuts.
• Drop by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart onto a greased baking sheet. Bake at 375°F for 10 to 12 minutes or till edges are lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Spread with Browned Butter Frosting.
• Browned Butter Frosting: In medium saucepan, heat and stir 1/2 cup butter over medium-low heat until golden brown (don't burn). Remove from heat. Stir in 3 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar, 1 1/2 t. vanilla, and 5 to 6 t. hot water. Beat till frosting is easy to spread. Use immediately. If it begins to set up, stir in a few drops of hot water and beat smooth again.
