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

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover oatmeal. I always have a bag of oatmeal in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use it for.
