Ice Box Cookies

Ice box cookies are a boon for the busy person
because they can be prepared in advance and stored in
the freezer until needed. Just slice and bake when
desired, and you have a great home made cookie.

If you like, use whole wheat flour and add 1/2 cup
ground peanuts to the dough.

In a large bowl, cream the shortening and peanut
butter, blending well. Add the honey, mixing it in
thoroughly. Gradually blend in sugar. Beat in egg and
vanilla.

Sift together the flour with baking powder, baking
soda and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the
creamed mixture. Stir in the raisins, if using. Shape
in a roll. Wrap in waxed paper and chill thoroughly.

Preheat oven to 350ø. Cut chilled dough into thin
slices and bake on greased cookie sheets at 350ø for
10-12 minutes.

Yield: 4-5 dozen. Jacqueline E. Hamilton, Cooking
