1934 Icebox Cookies from Van Horn Click on the images for a closer view! Van Horn, the Crossroads community for our own Texas Mountain Trail, has its history determined by its location.  Through time, it has always been a place travelers passed through...whether by foot, horseback, wagon, train, bicycle or automobile.  It was also an important stop on the historic highways--the Bankhead Highway and the Old Spanish Trail!  We found this recipe from 1934 in a Van Horn Hospital Auxiliary cookbook, and wanted to share it with you!  Click here to view a lovely three page .pdf about Van Horns legacy in welcoming travelers, plus, the entire recipe!  Eggs, butter, brown sugar! Mixing in dry ingredients! Add pecans, form into loaf and rest in the icebox! Slice, then bake!   Hot and ready to eat! download file now
