Both my grandma and Brent's used to make SO many types of awesome cookies. Some of my favorites are:
I usually make those during the holidays. Which is right around the corner!
But they both used to make ordinary everyday ice box cookies too. So did my mom. I hadn't made any in quite a while, so I dug out this favorite recipe.
I like the crispy texture, and the sweet brown sugar flavor. This time I added chopped pecans. I slice them pretty thin, and they make a TON. I usually make just half a batch, and I still get quite a few.
But cookies usually don't last long around here!

I haven't tasted these cookies in many, many years! My grandma made them at least once a month! So glad you shared this recipe!
My mom used to make a lot but especially during christmas time. We would leave some out for Santa. I made them for my children growing up during christmas too and they would always made sure to leave a plate for Santa! Now my daughter is asking for this recipe to make with her son now too. A simple family traditions to share...
