Grandma’s Icebox Cookies
Hi There! How are you doing this freezing cold morning? Thank you for all of your emails yesterday on how to resize my photos! They are so much easier to download once they’re resized! Yay!
Now for my grandma’s icebox cookies….
If your family is anything like mine, you have over fifty dozens cookies come Christmas. One cookie that’s always there is my grandma’s icebox cookies.
These sweet chewy cookies are a favorite of mine. I’ve never actually made them until this year. With all the baking I’ve been doing the thought of having a cookie that need no baking sounded perfect to me!
Here’s everything you need…
First thing you need to do is grind up the graham crackers to a powder consistency.
Next you want to combine the graham crackers, pecans, dates, & marshmallows in a very large bowl. Pour sweetened condensed milk over graham cracker mixture. Now its time to mix. Don’t be afraid you get your hands dirty. Stick your hands in the bowl and mix and mix and mix until every last bit of condensed milk is mix through.
Divide the dough in half. Roll each half into long logs. They should form a 3″ x 12″ log. Wrap each long tightly in either wax paper or freezer paper.
Place cookies in the fridge. Let chill overnight or until ready to serve. Slice and enjoy!
Ingredients:
- One box graham crackers
- 1 10oz bag marshmallows
- 1 small can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup chopped dates
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
Place graham crackers in food processor. Process until finely ground. In a large bowl, combine graham crackers, marshmallows, dates, & pecans. Mix well. Add in condensed milk. Work through with your hands until condensed milk is mixed through. Divide dough in half. Roll each half into logs 3″ x 12″. Wrap each log in wax or freezer paper. Refrigerate over night. Slice and enjoy!
One bite of these cookies took me right back to my grandma’s house! Love you & miss you grandma! (she reads my blog)
We’ve got snow in the forecast today! Aaaand… today is M’s first Christmas program!! I’ll be the mom thats both crying and laughing at the same time 😉
Nothin’ like a recipe handed down thru the years. They are like s’mores cookies if you add a little chocolate!
Oooh! Great idea! Chocolate would be a great idea!
ooooooh, yum! these sound amazing…i’ve actually never heard of icebox cookies before 🙂
i have never seen a recipe like this but they look great and delicious
You always have such good, simple baking ideas.
wow those look delicious !
Love how quick and easy these are! I love recipes that are handed down. Have fun today at M’s Christmas program!
Oh yum. They remind me of s’mores.
Grandma will be thrilled you featured her cookies! I bet Aunt Edna made them this year ;-)> What great photos you have of all the steps.
These look amazing! How much of each ingredient did you use?
Ohmigosh!!! Thank you for your comment Ashley! I completely forgot to list the amount of ingredients. Recipe is updated! Thank you 🙂
Well, guess I will have to go buy all the ingredients I need. Grandma wants me to make the cookies after reading your blog. I hadn’t planned on them this Christmas, but now I have to keep Grandma happy. WE LOVE YOU TOO AND MISS YOU AS WELL. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU, MARIN AND TIM…
Oops,,, I forgot to mention SHINER,,,Merry Christmas to him too….
these look SO good!! How clever!!
I don’t even like dates or marshmellows but this still sounds good!! Love the idea of adding chocolate too!
These look amazing! I will be making these soon!
Mmm these sound kind of like healthyish s’mores (that’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it).
omg these look soooo good and so easy and just…perfect!!! I love that they are no bake! They look awesome!! I have a marshmallow addiction, too 🙂 Big time!
Hey girl – do you think if we don’t like dates or pecans we could substitute chocolate chips and peanuts???
Yes you can! They may come out crunchier then normal because the dates are chewy, but it should still taste great! Let me know if you try it 🙂
This sounds delightful! I might have to make these after the holidays so I don’t have to share. 😉
These look so fun and unique! I love new cookie ideas 🙂
I think these could become a new Sutter family tradition! 😉
So simple yet elegant! I’m already veganizing it in my head.
My house is overflowing with cookies too. Your icebox cookies look tasty, and I love all the photos in this post. Happy baking..
