Another of my Grandma Crosser’s favorite cookie recipes. Sweet memories of my youth! These icebox cookies are an excellent cookie to make ahead and freeze. When you have guests, just pull out of the freezer, slice and bake. Fresh, homemade cookies in minutes and your house will smell wonderful.
Ingredients
3 cups flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 egg
1 cup finely chopped pecans (or walnuts)
Directions
Combine the flour, baking soda and baking powder in a bowl and mix well. Beat the brown sugar, sugar and butter in a mixer bowl until creamy. Add the egg and mix well. Add the dry ingredients gradually, beating well after each addition. Stir in the pecans. Shape the dough into several logs 2 inches in diameter. Chill, wrapped in waxed paper, for 8 to 10 hours. Cut each log into thin slices. Arrange the slices 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees until light brown. Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely. 3 dozen cookies.
