OLD FASHIONED ICE BOX COOKIE RECIPE RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:
- 1. Cream together the Butter, Oil and Sugars in a very large bowl 2. Beat in the Eggs 3. Stir in the Baking Soda, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Cloves and Salt 5. Add the Flour 1 Cup at a time, and stir well 6. Add the Hot Water to moisten the batter just a bit 7. Now stir in the Walnuts 8. Roll and shape dough into desired length (I usually go with 2 1/2 inches wide by 12 inch long rolls, you should get about 4 rolls) then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. You can keep the dough in the refrigerator for several days if you want to make the dough ahead of time. 9. When ready to bake, Preheat oven to 375 degrees, slice the dough into 1/2 inch slices, then place on an nongreased cookie sheet 10. Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown, about 15 minutes 11. Cool on brown paper (I use a cookie cooling rack) ~makes about 80 cookies Note: any unused dough or cookie slices should be kept in the refrigerator until they go directly in the oven. The cold dough is easier to slice and helps the cookie retain it's shape. For you you youngsters out there, "Icebox" is an old term referring to an old style refrigerator of sorts. Before homes had electricity they would have an Icebox, usually made of wood that had blocks of ice in it, to keep food items cold. Once the refrigerator was developed, some people still called their refrigerator "the Ice box". So the recipe name "Old Fashioned Ice Box Cookies" refers to the fact that you refrigerate the cookie dough before baking and since this is a very old recipe, they still referred to the fridge as an Ice Box.

Steps:
- Make cookie dough: Cream butter, adding sugar gradually. Cream until soft and fluffy. Then add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Sift dry ingredients together. Alternately add ingredients and cream to egg sugar mixture. Mix well.
- Chill 3 hours or overnight. Roll out on a well-floured board or countertop to 1/4-1/2 inches thickness. Shape with floured cookie cutters. Bake on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet at 350 for 8-10 minutes. (They won't be brown at all when they are done - if the cookie springs back when pressed down lightly, it is done.).
- Make frosting: Whip softened butter and softened cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and powdered sugar mixing until well combined. Add milk to bring frosting to desired consistency. When cookies are completely cool, frost. Add sprinkles if desired.
REALLY NICE SPICE COOKIES
I used the Nice Spice Cookie recipe minus the lemon zest and I added almost 1/2 cup of Dark Brown Sugar which gave the cookies a very different flavor.

OLD TIME SUGAR COOKIES (AKA GREASE COOKIES)
This is another old family recipe not sure where it came from but the original recipe called for lard hence the grease cookie name. They turn out very light and melt in your mouth. The batter is perfect for spooning on the cookie sheet or my favorite a mini ice cream scoop or a cookie dough gun.
