Is this the recipe you speak of? The Setttlement Cookbook is available online via Google books. I couldn't find any recipe labeled "Sour Cream Cookies" but I did find this one from the 1915 edition that sounds good:

CRISP COOKIES
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/2teaspoon soda
4 cups flour

Cream butter add sugar and stir add eggs mix well and add the rest of the ingredients the soda with the sour cream Toss on floured board roll out thin and cut into rounds Bake in shallow pans in a hot oven about 10 minutes

I purchased and returned the egg timer a couple of years ago. It gave off a strong plastic smell that was unappetizing. And I can boil eggs without it.

Ice Tea sweetened with Peach Nectar. Yum!

mmmm...melted cheese. Ham and cheese. Cheese and tomato.

I just want to defend boiled icing on red velvet cake. I make it every Christmas from my best friend's mother's recipe. I have even made a watermelon shaped red velvet cake with the boiled icing dyed green for a July office party and my coworkers love it.

In my house, cream cheese frosting is for carrot cake.

Bagel, toasted, Cream Cheese, Lox, but I would be willing to try all of the above.

My husband adores tacos made with the frozen meatless crumbles in place of the ground beef. I like portabello mushroon fajitas. And always guacomole.
