Darcey's Frosted Cashew Cookies

I was reminded in a phone call with my sister Jen just how much I like these cookies and have wanted the recipe...here is goes for safe keeping...

Cookies:

• Cream together:
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup brown sugar

• Add in and mix well:
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1 egg

• Then, add these dry ingredients alternating with 1/3 cup sour cream
• 2 scant cups flour
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 3/4 cup cashews

Frosting:

• 1/2 cup butter
• 3 Tbs cream
• 1/4 tsp vanilla
• 2 cups powdered sugar

Lightly brown the butter and remove from heat.  and add remaining ingredients.  Frost cookies when they are cool.

I plan on giving these a whirl for a cookie exchange this year.  We'll see how they turn out!
