And well, you’re just damn right. A slice of convenience. When it comes to home baking, the idea of convenience has been kidnapped by well-meaning manufacturers who have created a culture of pre-rolled pie crust, shrink-wrapped cookie mix and frozen cudgels of bread dough.

Granted, the pie crusts save time, and the bread dough may serve as training wheels for those tentative about yeast. (Come on, you can do it!) But the convenience of refrigerated cookie dough is hardly modern. Our great-grandmothers knew this with their recipes for icebox cookies, as they once were called. These mostly humble treats got a boost in the 1930s when electric refrigerators became more affordable. Art & Christmas / Christmas: Refrigerator cookies. Coffee Break / Christmas finger food.
