GRANDMA'S CHRISTMAS ICEBOX COOKIES



Grandma's Christmas Icebox Cookies image

A not-too-sweet Christmas cookie that goes great with cup of hot coffee or a glass of cold milk. One of Santa's favorites! These are great to make at the beginning of December and then simply bake in the oven when something sweet is quickly needed at the last minute during the holidays. Dough can be kept in refrigerator for a couple of weeks before baking.

GRANDMA'S CHRISTMAS COOKIE



Grandma's Christmas Cookie image

My Grandmother used to make these for my mother and me for years. We took it for granted that she would always be here to do so. My mother and I played with the ingredients until we think we have duplicated Grandma's recipe. The light coating of powdered sugar makes these stand out from the other cookies in the tin.

4 ½ cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup margarine, softened

1 ½ cups white sugar
