Butter Pecan Icebox Cookies
As a little girl, I was fascinated by the way Grandmother prepared these cookies. They came from logs that she took out of the "icebox"! Now when I make these simple but delicious old-fashioned cookies, I'm reminded of those memories. —Lisa Varner, El Paso, Texas

I LOVE these cookies. Not only is the pecan flavor delicious and buttery, but the convenience of being able to pull it out of my Freezer whenever I crave cookies is SUCH a time saver. I make a bunch of this dough, form it into rolls, wrap in plastic wrap and put the rolls into a ziploc bag! So glad I found this recipe!
Well, after being in the fridge for over 8 hrs, the dough was still very soft and the cookies spread into each other and looked terrible. They don't taste that good either. I was very disappointed.
