Beans and Ice Box Cookies
Sheila Jones, Foster City, Michigan, hopes someone has a recipe for ice box cookies that includes navy beans. Her lost recipe was originally found on a calendar of recipes from employees of USF Trucking, a company in Holland, Michigan.
We didn’t receive any recipes that match Sheila’s description exactly, and an Internet search did not yield any such recipes either. The recipes were either ice box cookies or cookies with navy beans, but not both. It is possible that the cookie dough could be refrigerated to make ice box cookies; that may be an experiment for Sheila.
Sarah Vaughan, of Waterville, Maine, sends a cookie recipe she says is quite good.
