For a richer flavor, try using brown butter in place of the shortening. If you don't have cake flour, you can make your own by using all-purpose flour. For every cup of all-purpose flour, remove 2 tablespoons and replace with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Whisk together well. Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts, such as pecans or almonds, instead of walnuts. Homemade fudge frosting elevates the cookies, but a good quality store-bought frosting works just fine.
