Pecan Ice Box Cookies

Ice Box Cookies are super easy and delicious. I just learned how to make Joe’s mom’s Pecan Ice Box Cookies but I’ve been eating them for years!

They key to Ice Box Cookies it to keep it simple and keep them cold until it’s time to bake them. There are many different varieties of Ice Box Cookies but I particularly love pecans so these are probably my favorite. My kids claim to not like pecans but they love these cookies… they don’t know they have pecans! One day they will learn that pecans are amazing.
