Icebox Cookies
This cookie recipe from my 91-year-old grandmother was my grandfather's favorite. She still makes them and sends us home with the dough so that we can make more whenever we want, I love to make a fresh batch when company drops in. —Chris Paulsen, Glendale, Arizona

Reviews
Instructions to toll the dough into a 10 inch long by 1 inch diameter log can't be correct!?
Flavor is fine, but if you follow the recipe re cooking time you might as well just eat the cookie dough raw. Maybe Grandpa didn't have any teeth.
We loved it but changed vanilla from half tsp to 1 cup because we are alcoholics
We enjoyed these cookies, but added 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to add to the flavor
