Aunt Ione's Icebox Cookies image

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
