Elaine's Mom's Ice Box Cookies

By Addie

Ingredients

• 1 pound butter, softened to room temp
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 6 cups flour
• 1 or more cups chopped walnuts (I like a lot of nuts!)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Cream butter and sugar, add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition. Add flour, soda, and cinnamon. Fold in nuts.


2. Gather some of the dough and shape with your hands into long logs (like you would make flavored butter logs) on waxed paper. Cover entirely with the waxed paper and refrigerate over night.

3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice logs with sharp knife into a little less than 1/4 inch thick. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake 12-15 minutes till light brown.

Elaine's Comments:
I only bake one cookie sheet at a time in the oven as I find that one above the other never seems to produce the best outcome!!

LET ME WARN YOU THAT THESE ARE ADDICTIVE AS HECK!!!!!
