If you love the soft, pillowy dreaminess of sugar cookies, mint meltaways and snickerdoodles, let us introduce you to Amish sugar cookies. Each bite has a lovely, buttery taste with a melt-in-your-mouth texture that\u2019s truly irresistible. The best part? They\u2019re easy to whip together and require zero chilling, so you\u2019ll be indulging in no time.<\/p>\n
Amish baked goods<\/a> are in a dessert category that’s all their own. With classics like shoofly pie, fastnachts, apple dumplings and whoopie pies, the Amish have perfected their butter-forward bakes. These Amish sugar cookies are a great recipe to get you started in the delicious world of Amish baking.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the butter, oil and sugars. Beat in the eggs until well blended. Beat in the vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and cream of tartar. Gradually beat the dry mixture into the creamed mixture.<\/p>\n Drop the dough by small teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake the cookies until they\u2019re lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the cookies to wire racks, and cool to room temperature.<\/p>\n To store, allow the cookies to cool completely to room temperature. Place the cookies in an airtight container, and store at room temperature for up to three days.<\/p>\n One of the top 10 Amish baking tips<\/a> is to store cookies in an airtight container along with a slice of bread. Without refrigeration, the Amish have become masters at storing food, and they’ve found that adding a slice of bread to the cookie container keeps the cookies fresher longer. We also love using this hack to soften cookies<\/a> once they\u2019ve gotten too crunchy.<\/p>\n Yes, you can freeze Amish sugar cookies. To\u00a0freeze cookies<\/a> for later, allow them to cool to room temperature, then arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Pop the sheet in the freezer until the cookies are frozen solid, about 30 minutes. Then layer the frozen cookies in airtight containers, with a piece of parchment or waxed paper separating each layer. This will help prevent the cookies from sticking to one another. Freeze the containers of cookies for up to three months. Thaw them overnight in the fridge before serving, or pop a few in the microwave until heated through.<\/p>\n No, you need the cream of tartar to make Amish sugar cookies. Baking soda needs an acidic ingredient to create the gas bubbles that make baked goods rise and lighten.\u00a0Cream of tartar<\/a>\u00a0(aka tartaric acid) provides that in this recipe. Yay, chemistry!<\/p>\n Yes, you can use Amish butter to make these cookies. Amish butter<\/a> has a higher fat content than American and even some European butters, so it will make your cookies taste even richer and more buttery. The Amish seem to be master bakers, and they did not skimp on Amish sugar cookies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7955,"featured_media":1774197,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ep_exclude_from_search":false},"tags":[303971,304158,306027,304328,304288,305487,306042,304338,307033,303966,303887,306848,304347,304268,304350,324623,303994,306082,304150,303883],"categories-v2":[308500,310461,309438,308988,311758,308984,308481,259620,310796,311771,308992,310079,308495,308478,309603,308998,259483,309001,309177,308528,311825,309434,308476],"coauthors":[342012],"recommended_recipes":[{"post_title":"Amish

They need to be beaten at least 5 minutes using a stand mixer until the batter is creamy and fluffy. I prepared the dry ingredients while the mixer was running. I also used a serving spoon to add the flour into the batter, allowing it to incorporate and then added another spoonful, etc. They are very fragile cookies.

Replace the vanilla with pure lemon extract and some lemon zest and maybe, if ambition prevails, a lemon frosting. I am looking forward to making these soon! <\/p> <\/p> And I seen comments about people \"sifting\" the dry ingredients, even if it was in the directions, it's not necessary because all flour brands are presifted multiple times prior to packaging to remove debris. Now if we went in the way back machine, prior to when flour manufacturers invested in sifters for the hoppers, it was necessary to sift the flour for everything to remove the bugs, worms, larvae and other debris. I have seen some really freaky stuff in a sifter. Now it's all done for us. <\/p> <\/p> Usually most cookie batters don't need sifting. All you need to do is whisk it a bit to loosen it up because it settles and gets a little dense from sitting. Just trying to help anyone who has had an issue or is a beginner.

Test Kitchen Tips<\/b>\r\nHow can you make Amish sugar cookies your own?<\/h3>Salted butter and a splash of extract (try almond!) make these extra flavorful. If you like your treats on the sweeter end of the spectrum, add a pinch of coarse sugar to the tops of these light and airy cookies.
Can you make Amish sugar cookies without cream of tartar?<\/h3>Baking soda needs an acidic ingredient to create the gas bubbles that make baked goods rise and lighten. Cream of tartar<\/a> (aka tartaric acid) provides that in this recipe. Yay, chemistry!
How should you store Amish sugar cookies?<\/h3>Amish sugar cookies will taste best stored in a well-sealed container for 3 days. To freeze these cookies<\/a> for later, arrange baked and cooled cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet. Pop the sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes or until the cookies are frozen solid. Then, layer frozen cookies in airtight containers, with a piece of parchment paper separating each layer. This will help prevent the cookies from sticking to one another. Repeat until all of the cookies are packed, then freeze containers for up to three months. Thaw (or pop in the microwave for a few seconds\u2014we won\u2019t tell) before serving.
