The Cookie Jar is an important place here at the inn. For many, it is the first stop after checking in! Enjoying a hot cup of coffee with the daily cookie on the patio is one of those special treats. We vary the cookies, often coming up with new combinations and flavors. Several come directly from Switzerland, like the “dead bones" we are famous for. (Dead Bones "Totenbeinle" are a crisp hazelnut bar.) On this page we will share some of our secrets-recipes that our guests beg for. Snickerdoodles will start the list. These cookies are a Lancaster County tradition and a staple in our cookie jar. Ours are soft and chewy-a result of slightly under baking the cookies. They freeze beautifully too. Please, please don't try to cut corners by using margarine! These cookies need real butter.
