Aunt Sophie's Magic Cookies

In a bowl, cut butter into flour. Add softened ice cream and work into the mixture with hands. Add more flour if necessary to make the dough easy to handle. Wrap and refrigerate overnight. The dough will become hard.

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Combine sugar, nuts, and cinnamon. Sprinkle some of the mixture on a pastry cloth or a smooth dish towel. On top of sugar mixture, roll out a small piece of dough to 1/8-inch thickness to form a 4- to 5-inch circle. Cut circle into quarters and roll each from the outside to the center. Repeat until all dough and sugar mixture are used up. Bake on a cookie sheet for 20 minutes or until browned.
