FAQ
What makes an 'icebox' cookie different from other cookies?
The dough is shaped into a log and chilled (or frozen) before slicing and baking. This method allows for uniform, round cookies and makes the dough easy to store for later use.
Are these cookies suitable for people with dietary restrictions?
They typically contain common allergens like wheat, eggs, milk, and soy. They are not suitable for gluten-free, vegan, or low-sugar diets without significant modification.
How should I store these cookies to keep them fresh?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To maintain softness, you can add a slice of bread to the container, which will release moisture.
