In my browsing I ran across this recipe posted to another site by "Laurie" for sugar cookies. The source of the recipe is indicated. I'm getting hungry.

From: LAURIE467 3/31/01 8:52 am  To: ALL  (1 of 2)  1418.1  Many thanks to the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast Museum for sending me this recipe. Thought I would share this with everyone:

4 cups sifted all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 heaping teaspoon orange peel
1 cup soft butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup dairy sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

TOPPING:
1/4 cup sugar

1. Sift flour with baking powder, baking soda, salt, and orange peel, set aside.
2. In large bowl, beat butter, sugar, and egg until light and fluffy
3 Beat in sour cream and vanilla until smooth
4. Gradually add flour mixture, beating until well combined
5. Form dough into a ball. Wrap in waxed paper. Refrigerate serval hours or overnight.
6. Divide dough into 4 parts. Refrigerate until ready to roll out.
7. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375. Lightly grease cookie sheet
8. On well-floured surface, roll dough one part at a time 1/4 inch thick
9. With floured cookie cutter, cut out cookies. Using spatula, place 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet.
10. Sprinkle tops of cookies with sugar. Reroll trimmings and cut
11. Bake 10-12 minutes, or until golden. Remove to wire rack, coo.
Makes about 6 dozen moist sugar cookies.

Thanks for another great post, Harry.  These look like they'd be really good!  They must serve them at the B & B then?  Is their breakfast only what the Bordens really ate on August 4th?

They're touting their breakfast as "award-winning" now, I think---that might preclude a Thursday Morning Borden menu...

When I saw this cookie recipe I printed it out so my wife could add it to her bookcase full of recipe notes and cookbooks. Yesterday afternoon she prepared a batch of these cookies. They are delicious!

We have yet to try the meatloaf cooked in water, however.

Dave, we have a cat with the appetite of a small horse but very finicky about what she will eat!
