How to Make Great Great Aunt Jessie's 1940's Ice Box Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the 3 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the 1 cup of chocolate chips (or other desired mix-ins).
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a roll about 2 inches in diameter.
- Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Once chilled, slice the dough into 1/4-inch thick cookies.
- Place the cookies onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
