100 Years Old Ice Box(Refrigerator Cookies) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. butter
2 eggs
1 Tbsp. nutmeg, I use a bit more that that
3 1/2 c. flour, plain
dash of salt
2 c. brown sugar
1 or 2 1/4 c. nuts, I use pecans
1 tsp. soda, rounded

Preparation

Stir dry ingredients in a large bowl, including nuts.
Melt butter, cool before it comes in contact with eggs.
Beat the eggs a little by hand.
Add all the wet ingredients and stir together with a spoon.
Roll off about 4 or 5 sheets of wax paper.
spoon the mixture onto the paper and form into a roll about 1 1/2 inch diameter. Roll up in the paper and twist the ends.
Store in the refrigerator overnight or until the dough is hard.
Take out of the paper, place on a cutting board and cut into thin slices with a sharp knife.
Here is where the advantages of a sharp knife comes in, cutting through those nuts!
Place them on a nonstick cookie sheet.
They won't spread out very much.
Bake at 325\u00b0 for about 8 to 10 minutes, depending on how hot your oven is and how brown you want the cookies.
Cool and store in an airtight container.
They keep very well.
