" You Can't Eat Just One" Ice Box Cookies

"Really simple sugar cookie that will be gone before they cool. That's why I usually make 2 batches, one for that day, and one for later. Edited 8/10 to reduce saturated fat and cholesterol."

directions

  • Cream butter and sugar.
  • Add eggs, and vanilla, and mix well.
  • Sift salt, soda, and flour, add nuts.
  • Mix dry ingredients into butter mixture.
  • Divide dough in 4 parts.
  • Make into logs 1 inch or so wide in wax paper.
  • Put in "ice box" (this was my grandmother's recipe) overnight, or if in a hurry, freezer for 15-30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Turn out cooled dough onto very lightly floured board.
  • Slice very thin, not potato chip thin, but no more than 1/4 inch. Space them 1 inch apart.
  • Bake until crisp and very, very lightly browned, about 5-6 minutes. The thicker you slice them, the longer the cooking time.
  • Enjoy with milk.
  • Share with your family, friends, and coworkers, but make sure to save some for yourself.

  1. This recipe definitely lives up to its name ! My aunt makes this exact recipe for my dad every year for his Xmas present. I, of course, make sure to get my fill while I'm at their house, since I don't live so close to them anymore. Very butterscotchy tasting, which I love ! Thanks for posting :)
