Cookie of the Day: Chocolate Icebox Cookies

These beautiful, old-fashioned cookies are a delightful treat.  The dough is rolled into a log which is then rolled in finely chopped walnuts and refrigerated.  The firm, chilled dough is sliced and baked.  The resulting cookie has a rich, mellow chocolate bite which blends deliciously with the creamy flavor of the nuts.  Adorned with luscious dollops of shining, melted dark chocolate, these cookies remind us of the simple elegance of Christmases past.

My mom used to make refrigerator cookies like this. These look better because of the icing. That is a really good idea.
