    Good morning Nee,
    Oh my, these look so good! I haven't had breakfast yet and now I want to eat these all up. So easy and I love Ice Box Cookies. Enjoy anything with cinnamon and nuts.....I saw the amount this recipe yields and I almost dropped to the floor. 102 servings. Wow, when you make a batch of cookies you really make a ton of them. But on the other hand you have the children and they must eat them by the tons. Now I see why you wrap them in four rolls...you can keep them so when you need more you can just slice and bake...terrific...I would love to make these...Thanks for this recipe I hope that you have a wonderful Sunday dear friend!

      Good evening Dottie ,
      They are delicious , easy peasy , but yummy good . I like to make large batches and I use nuts , raisins , cherries ETC , I always heave them on hand , that way I know what my kids are getting .
      They are also good when you have company drop by and wants to have a cup of coffee or tea , "Have a cookie;" . Yes they eat a lot of them but thankful my girls are learning to cook . I will see how long that last . Thanks for stopping by my friend . Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving Nee :).

    Hi Nee, these look delicious, wondering if refrigerating overnight gives them more flavor? I could eat dozens of these myself, love the flavor.

      I Cheri , I think it lets all the flavors combine together . I like the idea of always having cooking on hand at a moments' notice . Thanks for stopping by :)
