Granny's Ice Box Cookies



This was one of my favorites for childhood.  My grandmother was always making these on our summer visits.  When she passed a couple of years ago, my mom saved her original, handwritten recipe card for me. Such a treasure to be able to share this recipe with my kids and someday grandkids :)))

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup of Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup of White Sugar
1/2 Cup of Pecans
1/2 Cup of Butter
1 1/2 Cups of Flour
1 Egg
1/4 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp of Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Vanilla

Instructions:

 * Cream sugars and butter
 * Add well beaten egg
 * Add all dry ingredients
 * Mix well and make into rolls and chill in ice box before cooking ( wrap in cellophane)
 * Make sure you take out before too brown ( My Granny added that note ;)

So Yumma~ I have not tried this recipe with whole food ingredients yet.  It's so good and brings back so many good memories, I haven't dared !!  Maybe someday....
