Does anyone make these anymore? I was in conversation with a very young
woman at work and she didn't know what I was talking about (talk about
feeling old....)

A few recipes would be nice, if you have them!

Here's a recipe my mother used. She used to keep dough in the fridge most
of the time so my Dad (who loved these) could always have fresh cookies.

Ice Box Cookies gained tremendous popularity from the 20s thru the 50s, as
more and more people bought refrigerators. True “ice boxes” didn’t really
chill the dough sufficiently to make it firm enough to slice.

Nothing old about refrigerator cookies. Pillsbury seem to do a line of
those...

Try this: From 'Favorite Recipes from Southern Kitchens: Desserts)
paraphrased
Haven't made them but other recipes from the book have worked out well.

3 eggs
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
4 cups sifted flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp (baking) soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla

Let butter stand at room temp until soft. Beat eggs until light. Add to
the soft butter. Add dry ingredients, beat until blended. Add flour if
needed. Add vanilla. Form into a roll; refrigerate for several hours (or
o/n).Slice and bake 400 F 10--15 mins.

There is a wonderful icebox cookie the boss makes. The dough is rolled out
then cinnamon is sprinkled and the dough is rolled.

Later after resting in the fridge the dough is slices and PAINTED with a
coating of REAL maple syrup before baking.

Heaven.
