Browned Butter Frosting:
- 1/2 cup butter

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
- In large mixing bowl beat the brown sugar and shortening with an electric mixer on medium speed until well mixed. Add eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until well mixed. Add flour mixture and sour cream alternately to beaten mixture, beating after each addition.
- Drop dough by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.

- Stir in powdered sugar, boiling water, and 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla. Beat until frosting is easy to spread.
