Time 5h

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 pound margarine
1 cup white sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
3 eggs
1 cup chopped nuts

Steps:

  • In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon together until evenly blended; set aside. Beat the margarine, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the margarine mixture before adding the next. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the chopped nuts; mixing just enough to evenly combine.
  • Scrape the dough onto a sheet of waxed paper, and form into a log. Roll tightly in the waxed paper, and refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray baking sheets with cooking spray.
  • Unwrap the dough, and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Place the cookies onto baking sheets, spaced 1-inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

GRANDMA'S CHRISTMAS ICEBOX COOKIES



Grandma's Christmas Icebox Cookies image

A not-too-sweet Christmas cookie that goes great with cup of hot coffee or a glass of cold milk. One of Santa's favorites! These are great to make at the beginning of December and then simply bake in the oven when something sweet is quickly needed at the last minute during the holidays. Dough can be kept in refrigerator for a couple of weeks before baking.
