BUTTERSCOTCH COOKIE FROSTING
5
In a saucepan, brown the butter over medium low heat. (Approximately 5-7 minutes). Be careful not to scorch the butter. Remove butter from heat and mix in powdered sugar, boiling water, and vanilla. Use a wooden spoon and stir until the frosting is easy to spread. (You may need to add more than the 5 teaspoons of water. Sometimes I have to add up to a tablespoon or more. Make sure you only add the water a teaspoon at a time). Immediately spread the frosting on the cookies and top with walnuts if desired. If frosting begins to harden, stir in another teaspoon of boiling water to soften.
