Which cookie making method involves shaping dough into cylinders, refrigerated until firm, and then sliced into?

• A. Bar
• B. Molded
• C. Rolled
• D. Icebox

Answer: (D)

Shaping dough into a cylinder, chilling it until firm, and then slicing it into rounds is the icebox cookie method. The key idea here is using a chilled log of dough that you can slice into evenly sized pieces before baking, which gives uniform thickness and clean edges. This approach relies on the dough becoming firm in the fridge so the slices hold their shape as they bake.

Bar cookies, by contrast, are typically spread into a pan and cut into bars after baking. Molded cookies are formed into shapes by hand or with molds before baking. Rolled cookies are rolled out flat and cut into shapes before baking. So the process described fits the icebox method best.
