Instructions for Basic Icebox Sugar Cookies

(Cooking Light) 1. Combine the first 3 ingredients in a bowl, and set aside. Beat margarine at medium speed of a mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add sugar, beating at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended. Add vanilla and egg white, and beat well. Add flour mixture, and stir until well-blended. Turn dough out onto wax paper, and shape into a 6-inch log. Wrap log in wax paper, and freeze for 3 hours or until very firm. 2. Preheat oven to 350?. 3. Cut log into 24 (1/4-inch) slices, and place slices 1 inch apart on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. (For slicing, they recmmend either using dental floss, or a sharp knife). Bake at 350? for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from pan, and cool on wire racks. Yield: 2 dozen (serving size: 1 cookie). Variations: CHOCOLATE ICEBOX COOKIES: Reduce flour to 3/4 cup and add 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder with the dry ingredients. PEANUT BUTTER ICEBOX COOKIES: Reduce margarine to 3 Tablespoons, add 2TB peanut butter, and change the 2/3 cup sugar to 1/2 cup brown sugar + 1/4 cup granulated sugar. BROWN SUGAR ICEBOX COOKIES: Instead of the granulated sugar, use 2/3 cup brown sugar. LEMON-CORNMEAL ICEBOX COOKIES: Reduce flour to 3/4 cup and add 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal with the dry ingredients. Also, increase the 2/3 cup granulated sugar to 3/4 cup, and add 2 tsp grated lemon rind with the wet ingredients. There are even additional variations listed in the magazine under each of the above categories which I wont include - but they all sound yummy! I highly recommend this double issue - thumb through it at the store. I am not affiliated with Cooking Light, Im just a happy subscriber.
