Ingredients for cookies
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sour cream
1 cup walnuts, chopped very finely
Ingredients for frosting
1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon butter, softened
2 heaping tablespoons sour cream
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped finely for sprinkling on top of the icing (optional)

1
Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.
2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and the sugar together. Add the eggs one at a time and beat well. Add the vanilla and mix until fluffy.
3
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
4
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternating with the sour cream. Begin and end with the flour.
5
Add in the walnuts and mix until combined.
6
Drop by the teaspoonful onto a greased cookie sheet or a cookie sheet lined with Silpat. Space them well apart as they will spread (I did 9 cookies per sheet and they were spaced well).
7
Bake for 10 minutes until they are a golden color.
8
While the cookies are baking, mix all of the frosting ingredients in a bowl.
9
While the cookies are still warm, spread a little frosting on each cookie and top with the chopped walnuts.
