Grandma's classic icebox cookies: a simple, versatile dough perfect for holiday entertaining.
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 0.5 cup red or green candied cherries
Instructions:
  • Using an electric mixer, cream together brown sugar, butter, and white sugar until smooth in a large bowl. Add half of the beaten eggs and mix until fully incorporated. Then add the remaining beaten eggs and vanilla, and beat until combined.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir the mixture into the creamed butter until just combined. Gently fold in pecans and candied cherries. Shape dough into 1 1/2-inch rolls on waxed paper and seal the ends with tape. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) for perfect baking temperature.
  • Slice the cookie dough into 1/4-inch thick pieces and place them neatly on a baking sheet.
  • Bake until edges turn golden brown, approximately 10 minutes in the preheated oven.
