Butterscotch Drops (Danica)

1/2 c. shortening
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 c. sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 3/4 c. flour
2/3 c. nuts (optional, my family prefers without)

Mix ingredients. Chill. Bake 350 degrees for 10 min.
Frosting

6 T BUTTER
1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
water as needed

Melt butter until it browns. It will melt, bubble, rise up in pan and then die down to brown a watery-like substance.
Add sugar and enough enough water to spread
If frosting is oily, add a little more sugar and water. Make it spreadable, not dry and crumbly.

I made these for xmas and they are super yummy- very cake-like. After I made the frosting, I realized it might be even better with a different extract- maybe maple or liqueur? Delicious!
