How to Make My Favorite Ice Box Cookies

  1. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup chopped walnuts.
  3. Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a 1.5-inch diameter log, and wrap tightly in plastic wrap.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Once chilled, slice the dough into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  8. Place cookies onto prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each.
  9. Bake for 4-6 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown. Watch closely as they burn easily!
  10. Let cool on baking sheets for 30 seconds before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
