Ice Box Cookies

By Becky Jo

I received this recipe from a friend at work. This is a simple cookie, yet tasty! I like them because you can keep them in the fridge and bake as needed! (Prep time includes 1 hour of chilling time and the yield was estimated, as they never stay around long enough for me to count them.)

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 4 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
