These are a recipe of my mom's. They are a humble and delicious cookie. Can you go wrong when combining brown sugar and butter?

1 c brown sugar
½ c sugar
2 eggs
1 c evaporated milk
2 ¾ c flour
½ t baking soda
1 t salt
1 c broken walnuts

Cream shortening, butter and sugars. Add eggs and alternately add dry ingredients and milk. Mix in nuts. Chill 1 hour. Bake on lightly greased cookie sheets at 375 F for 10 minutes. Frost while warm but not hot.
