Time 2h20m

Yield about 80 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2 1/2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
4 ounces (about 1 cup) coarsely chopped slivered almonds
3 or 4 cookie sheets or jelly roll pans lined with parchment or foil (you will need to cool and reuse them)

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir will to mix. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and brown sugar together on medium speed until well mixed, about 1 minute, then beat in the vanilla. Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, beating smooth after each addition. Scrape the bowl and beater well and beat in the flour mixture followed immediately by the almonds.
  • Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and shape and squeeze it into two rough cylinders, each about 10 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. Roll a piece of parchment or waxed paper around each piece of dough and tighten by pressing it in with the side of a cookie sheet or a piece of stiff cardboard. Chill the dough until firm. Or, at this stage, it can be double-wrapped in plastic, frozen, and kept for up to several weeks.
  • When you are ready to bake the cookies, set the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Slice the cookies 1/4-inch thick, rotating the roll of dough often as you slice so it doesn't become squashed from the weight of the knife. Arrange the cookies on the prepared pans about 1-inch apart in all directions and bake them for about 12 to 15 minutes, until they have puffed somewhat and have become dull and are firm to the touch. Slide the papers from the pans onto racks. After the cookies have cooled, store them between sheets of parchment or waxed paper in a tin or plastic container with a tight-fitting cover.

Whenever we went to visit my Aunt Ione in south Georgia, her icebox cookies were our favorite treat. My mother later make these cookies, and I remember begging for a slice of the raw dough-I thought the unbaked cookies tasted just as great as the baked! -Jenny Hill, Meridianville, Alabama

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies.
  • Make sure your butter is cold before you start creaming it with the sugar. This will help the cookies hold their shape better.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before you roll it out. This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before you store them.

Conclusion:

Aunt Betty Jean's Black Walnut Ice Box Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their rich, nutty flavor and chewy texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
