Who calls it an ice box anymore? This was my dad's favorite cookie recipe.
Double the recipe and store the extra dough in the refrigerator. Slice and bake
as desired. You can't beat warm cookies from the oven. Black walnuts are usually
available on the baking aisle of the grocery
store.

brown sugar 1 egg 1 2/3 cups flour 1/3 tsp. baking powder 1/3 tsp.

2. Add unbeaten eggs and mix.
3.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda, and gradually work into
the creamed mixture.
4. Add the black walnuts and stir in by hand.
5. Turn dough onto a sheet of wax paper and shape into a roll about 2"
in diameter.
6. Refrigerate until solid, about one hour.
