Aunt Ione’s Icebox Cookies
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. + chilling Bake: 10 min./batch

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
