AUNT IONE'S ICEBOX COOKIES



Aunt Ione's Icebox Cookies image

Whenever we went to visit my Aunt Ione in south Georgia, her icebox cookies were our favorite treat. My mother later make these cookies, and I remember begging for a slice of the raw dough-I thought the unbaked cookies tasted just as great as the baked! -Jenny Hill, Meridianville, Alabama

AUNT DOT'S SHORTBREAD COOKIES



Aunt Dot's Shortbread Cookies image

This is my Aunt Dorothy's recipe. She would always serve these melt-in-your-mouth,unbelieveable tasting cookies. Aunt Dot, also my Godmother, always made hers with peach preserves, as do I. They are easy to do and prep time includes chilling. My original copy is in pretty bad shape, so I wanted to post here for safe keeping, and even though she is gone now, I know she would be thrilled I posted her recipe for all to enjoy.

AUNT GEORGIA'S SHORTBREAD COOKIES



Aunt Georgia's Shortbread Cookies image

Growing up these were my very favorite cookies. My Aunt Georgia would make dozens of these during the holidays, along with many other of her scrumptious desert specialties. I was fortunate that she shared her recipes with me before she passed on. Now I make the goodies and these are still a favorite, especially with my Mom and Sister. She only used Land O' Lakes butter and I've found that if I use any other brand they just don't taste like Aunt Georgia's. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
