This is another of my mother's recipes. They're a refrigerator cookie. You mix the dough, form it into a long shape like a log or in this case, rolled out and stacked in layers (alternating flavors) inside a narrow box, and then refrigerate until firm.
With the layered dough, after chilling, I unbox and trim up the edges a little.
Then I slice the dough thinly and
place on a buttered baking sheet.
They bake up nicely and look pretty appealing.
I hadn't planned on baking these cookies for Christmas. But, I made spiced nuts over the weekend, and those use egg whites. The chocolate-vanilla refrigerator cookies use an egg yolk. I was able to use the leftover yolk in these cookies after making the nuts.
Our freezer is now very full of baked cookies. I'll begin thawing some tomorrow as I put together plates of cookies for some of our neighbors. On Wednesday I'll pack tins of baked goodies for my son and daughter-in-law, which I will stack as a treat tower for one of their gifts.
I've made my work list for the next three days. Everything is beginning to come together, but there is still plenty of work to do. I hope all of your work is wrapping up, leaving you to relax and enjoy Christmas with your loved ones.
This is my last post until Dec. 29. Wishing you and those you hold dear a very merry Christmas.
