Personal Notes:
Note: This is a double batch. You can divide in half, roll the remainder in wax paper and freeze for future use (this is why they were called "icebox cookies"). My sister and I looked forward to visiting my aunt and uncle because we always knew there were cookies in the freezer, waiting to be made.
