GRANDMA'S REFRIGERATOR COOKIES

"This is a great tasting cookie. I make an extra batch to freeze. My kids (and husband) really love these."

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 cups all purpose flour
1 egg
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon (i prefer half cinnamon and half nutmeg)
speck (dash) salt
1/2 cup finely chopped nuts

Cream butter with white and brown sugars.

Sift flour, soda, salt and cinnamon together. Add egg to cream mixture. Blend thoroughly. Add dry ingredients. Stir until all flour is worked in. Add nuts and mix to distribute evenly.

Shape dough into rolls about 1 1/2-inches in diameter. Wrap rolls in waxed paper or clear wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, or up to 1 week.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Remove rolls from refrigerator and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Place slices 1-inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and immediately lift cookies with spatula or pancake turner and place on wire racks to cool.

Makes 5-6 dozen cookies
