Ingredients for Amish Sugar Cookies<\/h2>\n\n- Butter:<\/strong> Richness and structure come from butter, essential to these cookies.<\/li>\n
- Canola oil:<\/strong> Canola oil adds moisture and tenderness to the sugar cookies. Oil is liquid at room temperature, meaning it won\u2019t harden as it sits like butter does. This keeps the cookies nice and soft for days.<\/li>\n
- Confectioners\u2019 sugar:<\/strong> Used alongside regular sugar, confectioners\u2019 sugar provides a light, melt-in-your-mouth cookie texture and sweet taste.<\/li>\n
- Eggs:<\/strong> Eggs bind the ingredients together so the cookies don\u2019t fall apart.<\/li>\n
- Cream of tartar:<\/strong> Cream of tartar kickstarts the baking soda and gives these sugar cookies their distinctive soft, chewy texture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Directions<\/h2>\nStep 1: Create the dough<\/h3>\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
Step 2: Bake the cookies<\/h3>\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
Amish Sugar Cookies Variations<\/h2>\n\n- Drizzle on a glaze:<\/strong> A quick confectioners\u2019 sugar glaze<\/a> gives these cookies a beautiful finished look. Bonus points if the glaze has food coloring or a fun extract mixed in!<\/li>\n
- Sprinkle in baking spices:<\/strong> Throw in spice blends<\/a> like pumpkin pie spice, chai spice or fall spices<\/a> to dress up these Amish sugar cookies.<\/li>\n
- Add in extract:<\/strong> Along with (or instead of) the vanilla extract, add nutty almond extract, citrusy orange extract or bright lemon extract.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How to Store Amish Sugar Cookies<\/h2>\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>\nCan you freeze Amish sugar cookies?<\/h2>\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>\nAmish Sugar Cookies Tips<\/h2>\n

Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nCan you make Amish sugar cookies without cream of tartar?<\/h3>\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>\nCan I use Amish butter to make these cookies?<\/h3>\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.

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.

This recipe looks like it would make very soft sugar cookies. You can even play with the flavor of them. That's one thing about a cookie recipe is that there's so many possibilities. I see these as a perfect lemon sugar cookie. 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. You should also weigh your ingredients for best results. <\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2023-05-09","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"amylea02"},"reviewBody":"

So glad I tried these. I never put cooking oil in my cookies, so I balked a bit when I read ONE cup of canola oil. I did reduce it to about 2\/3 to 3\/4.

A light crispy crunch on the outside and chewy tender on the inside. A perfect cookie. Oh, I also baked them at 350 instead of 375. Just my personal preference for a baking temp.<\/p>

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.

Directions<\/h2>\nStep 1: Create the dough<\/h3>\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
Step 2: Bake the cookies<\/h3>\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
Amish Sugar Cookies Variations<\/h2>\n\n- Drizzle on a glaze:<\/strong> A quick confectioners\u2019 sugar glaze<\/a> gives these cookies a beautiful finished look. Bonus points if the glaze has food coloring or a fun extract mixed in!<\/li>\n
- Sprinkle in baking spices:<\/strong> Throw in spice blends<\/a> like pumpkin pie spice, chai spice or fall spices<\/a> to dress up these Amish sugar cookies.<\/li>\n
- Add in extract:<\/strong> Along with (or instead of) the vanilla extract, add nutty almond extract, citrusy orange extract or bright lemon extract.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How to Store Amish Sugar Cookies<\/h2>\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>\nCan you freeze Amish sugar cookies?<\/h2>\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>\nAmish Sugar Cookies Tips<\/h2>\n
Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nCan you make Amish sugar cookies without cream of tartar?<\/h3>\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>\nCan I use Amish butter to make these cookies?<\/h3>\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.

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.

This recipe looks like it would make very soft sugar cookies. You can even play with the flavor of them. That's one thing about a cookie recipe is that there's so many possibilities. I see these as a perfect lemon sugar cookie. 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. You should also weigh your ingredients for best results. <\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2023-05-09","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"amylea02"},"reviewBody":"

If you are looking for a moist, chewy sugar cookie, keep scrolling! These are very dry, very similar to a wedding cookie. Lovely, not too sweet flavor, just not what I was expecting.

So glad I tried these. I never put cooking oil in my cookies, so I balked a bit when I read ONE cup of canola oil. I did reduce it to about 2\/3 to 3\/4. Just did not fill the cup all the way and added 1\/4 tsp of salt and an extra tsp of vanilla. I love vanilla. Baked for 10 minutes and they are awesome. A light crispy crunch on the outside and chewy tender on the inside. A perfect cookie. Oh, I also baked them at 350 instead of 375. Just my personal preference for a baking temp.<\/p>

How to Store Amish Sugar Cookies<\/h2>\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.

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.

I never put cooking oil in my cookies, so I balked a bit when I read ONE cup of canola oil. I did reduce it to about 2\/3 to 3\/4. Just did not fill the cup all the way and added 1\/4 tsp of salt and an extra tsp of vanilla. I love vanilla. Baked for 10 minutes and they are awesome. A light crispy crunch on the outside and chewy tender on the inside. A perfect cookie. Oh, I also baked them at 350 instead of 375.

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.
