This belated Christmas Cookie recipe from the Lovely Lane Methodist Church in Old Goucher is inadvertently my third post in a row related to places I’ve lived. Lovely Lane has produced at least two cookbooks that I’m aware of – one from the 1990s and one from 1936. Both are called “Lovely Lane Cook Book.” The older book is a neat curiosity, full of advertisements from a time when the neighborhood where I live actually had more amenities. Sure, it was a streetcar ride to downtown, but groceries, bicycles, draperies, flowers and more were all available in the lower Charles Village area.
