Step-by-step

Place oven rack in center position and heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.

Cream together the sugar and shortening.

Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until well combined.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add dry ingredients alternately with the milk to the shortening mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.

Divide the dough into four even pieces, wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use.

Process the nuts through a food processor until finely chopped.

Combine the chopped nuts with the sugar and then add in the melted butter.

Add the egg whites and mix well.

Roll out a piece of dough into a rectangle measuring about 6-inches by 18-inches.

Spread 1/4 of the nut filling onto the dough, leaving a small border around the perimeter of the dough.

Roll up as you would a jelly roll, with the short ends to the left and right of you, and seal the ends.

Cut the roll into 1-inch pieces and place on the cookie sheet.

Bake until the tops are just starting to turn light brown.

Set on wire racks to cool completely.

Prepare the icing by mixing together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough milk to achieve the desired consistency.

Ice the tops of the cookies and let set completely before storing in an airtight container.
