How to Make Icebox Cookies
Icebox cookies are a breeze to make and turn out perfectly every time! Just make sure to allow enough time for the dough to chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight, as this step is crucial for achieving the desired texture and ease of slicing. Additionally, when it’s time to slice the chilled dough, using a sharp knife and gentle sawing motion will help you achieve clean and even cookie rounds.
Bake Immediately: This dough really needs to be baked right after it comes out of the fridge. I found it helpful to slice all the cookie rounds, arrange them on the baking sheet and then chill the whole pan in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before baking. Use a Baking Dish for Sprinkles: The sprinkles make a big mess, so using a baking dish or baking sheet with higher sides is very helpful. Use your hands to carefully press the sprinkles into the dough so they stick. Swap Out Sprinkles: The rainbow nonpareil sprinkles can be replaced with any other sprinkles, making these cookies easily customizable for whatever holiday or event you make them for.
Baked cookies should be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
