Ice Box Cookies

This recipe for Ice Box Cookies starts in English, switches to French for a few words, and then returns to English! I made these already and cut up and served one of the 2.5 logs of dough to my coworkers. I think tomorrow, I'm going to try baking these cookies after letting the frozen log soften enough to slice. They tasted like eating sugar cookie dough, but with nuts & brown sugar.

Ice box cookies

4 cups sifted flour 

3 teaspoons calumet baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup butter, melted

2 cup sifted brown sugar

2 cups granulated sugar

2 eggs well beaten

1 cup nut meats chopped

1 tablespoon vanilla

Mix flour and baking powder together and sift well. Add salt & nuts. Cream butter thoroughly, add sugars gradually and cream well. Add eggs & vanilla to butter mixture. Combine flour mixture into wet mixture. Shape into rolls 1 ½ inches. I scooped dough into ziploc bags and rolled the dough into logs and froze the dough in the bags. Let stand in ice box overnight. Slice into cookies. Makes approx. 6 dozen quarter-inch thick cookies. 

(The italics is my added instructions from having made these cookies.)  

 

Update: 

I felt like these were just too much like raw dough, so I experimented with cooking the remaining two frozen logs I made the other day. I think 8 minutes at 350 degrees is the best, still gooey and moist, but not like eating raw cookie dough. 10 minutes and 12 minutes were quite crispy and hard.
