CARAMEL FROSTED PUMPKIN COOKIES WITH BUTTERSCOTCH CHIPS
I think I found this recipe in a Glamour Girl magazine in the 70s. It is family favorite at Thanksgiving and Christmas - rich, moist and yummy! Store in a covered container (if you have any left). I sometimes make smaller cookies and if so, the dough will make 6 dozen -- just adjust baking times accordingly.

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:
- 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.
- Beat until combine, scraping side of bowl occasionally.
- Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined.
- Add flour and sour cream alternately to beaten mixture, beating until combined after each addition.
- 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.
Tips:
- Use softened butter for a creamier cookie dough. You can soften butter by leaving it out at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or by microwaving it for a few seconds on low power.
- Don't overmix the cookie dough, or the cookies will be tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
Conclusion:
Frosted butterscotch cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy, with a rich butterscotch flavor. The frosting is sweet and creamy, and it perfectly complements the cookies. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
