Recipe: Julia Sims' chocolate refrigerator cookies

I'm sure someone, somewhere, knows the official name for these cookies. As for me, I've always just called them "those chocolate refrigerator cookies."

I grew up watching my mom and grandmother make them every Christmas. I can clearly picture the South Carolina sun streaming through the kitchen window onto the countertops where powdered sugar dusted about every surface. We'd all be there waiting to swipe one as soon as we could. Those cookies were serious business back then!

Then my grandmother died and we scattered to different places for the holidays. My sister though kept making them through the years with her daughter. It never failed if I called her a week before Christmas, she'd tell me "we're making those chocolate refrigerator cookies."

After I had Will, I asked my sister for the recipe. Of course, I always misplace it and it seems each year, I'm calling or texting her asking for it again!

Like with most things, my cookies don't taste quite as good as when my mom and grandmother made them and I'm sure they never will. Still, they are pretty darn tasty!

Add graham cracker crumbs until you can no longer stir. Usually a little less than one box. Roll in powdered sugar and refrigerate.
