The ingredients for Tennessee Icebox Cookies are:

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup (about 3 ounces) slivered almonds, coarsely chopped

Here is how you make Tennessee Icebox Cookies:

Combine the flour, baking soda and salt on a square of waxed paper. Set aside.In a large bowl, using a stand or hand electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and brown sugar for about 1 minute, just until combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat for several minutes, until the mixture is smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Using a spatula, add the flour mixture and the almonds, mixing until a dough forms; make sure the almonds are well distributed. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and roll the dough under the palms of your hands to form an even cylinder/log, about 10 inches long. Wrap it tightly in parchment paper or waxed paper and refrigerate for up to several days. (At this point, the dough can be frozen.)When ready to bake, preheat to 350 degrees. Use a sharp knife to cut the unwrapped dough into 1/4-inch slices, rolling the cylinder of dough after each slice to keep its shape. Space the cookies about 1 inch apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the cookies are slightly puffed, dull in appearance and firm to the touch. Transfer the baking sheets to wire racks to cool for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer the cookies to the racks to cool completely.Washington Post Christmas 2006Number of Servings: 60Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CHRISTINEDC.
