OLD FASHIONED REFRIGERATOR COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars. Add beaten eggs. Mix and sift flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in another bowl. Add flour mixture to the creamed mixture. Stir nuts into the dough.
• Shape dough into 6 balls. Roll out each ball on floured wax paper into a cylinder about the size of a silver dollar.
• Shake chocolate decorative candies or colored sugar onto wax paper. Roll dough into the sugars or chocolate, enough to coat the sides of the dough. Roll cylinders in wax paper, and place in the refrigerator overnight.
• Slice rolls into 1/4 inch slices, and place on greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 8 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon together until evenly blended; set aside. Beat the margarine, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the margarine mixture before adding the next. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the chopped nuts; mixing just enough to evenly combine.
• Scrape the dough onto a sheet of waxed paper, and form into a log. Roll tightly in the waxed paper, and refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray baking sheets with cooking spray.
• Unwrap the dough, and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Place the cookies onto baking sheets, spaced 1-inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
