There's something about using a food processor in a kitchen that makes you feel like a ninja. (It's probably the blade that looks like a throwing star.) Here's an icebox cookie that quickly comes together in a food processor (but if you don't have one, you can always use a pastry knife to cut the butter into the dry ingredients).
The nice thing about icebox cookies is that you can make the dough in advance and keep it in your fridge for a week or two (or longer in the freezer) until you actually want to bake them.
Also, this is a yummy sweet treat for those vegetarian friends who don't eat eggs.
