Amish Sugar Cookies Recipe

Most Amazing Sugar Cookie EVER!!!! my mother in law first introduced me to these cookies over Christmas, and I loved them. So I decided to find a recipe for them and make them myself and they came out amazing! I am upping the size on them though. tsp are just too small for me and my fiancé so I am using tbsp instead. these cookies also freeze very well! i am not sure if it's just my oven but i found that it took closer to twenty minutes to cook them not 10. that's my only complaint! happy baking!

Tasty cookies for sure. Not my favorite sugar cookie recipe but one of the best. I do not recommend trying to roll out this dough for cut out cookies. This is the wrong sugar cookie dough for that. Drop cookies are easier anyways. Certainly adding food color would dress them up for any occasion. I used my tsp drop cookie tool and they all came out the same size. Delightful and pretty as well.

Made this recipe because it was included with the cookie stamps i received for renewing a subscription,,,,cookie stamps did not work with the recipe... the design baked out.... the cookie itself was tasty but not for the purpose it was recommended for.

There is no other sugar cookie that can stand up to this cookie. Although goe back into the year 1995 or so Taste of Home cookbooks for the holidays and this was then the"Kentucky Sugar Cookie"

These turned out a little oily to my liking - I added a pinch of salt and some pumpkin pie spice as the dough was tasting like oil. My family *loved* them, though. I saw someone else mention doubling the batch but cutting the oil - I may try that next. I made them by the tablespoon - should have chilled the dough before baking, as they spread a bit more than I'd like. But they're worth making again, with tweaks. (I like the rolled-in-sugar idea; they're perfect for that!) Thanks for the recipe!

I even accidently left of all things, the eggs, out of this recipe. I still took 2nd place at the county fair. If you take a flat bottom glass and flatten them a bit before baking, you can put your favorite frosting in the middle of two of them and it is twice as good!

My husband loves sugar cookies but I hate rolling them out. Found this recipe and tried it. He loves it and now I love them too!! Very easy to make. I started making them by the teaspoon as in the instructions but decided to do Tablespoons by the end. I like the size better for my husband and I still go 26 more cookies than the recipe says.

I hate, hate, hate sugar cookies but had to make some for Church. Tried one before I left and now I love sugar cookies as long as they are from this recipe. Must be a great recipe if it got me eating sugar cookies!!!

I just made these. I rolled them in a small ball and then rolled in raw sugar before baking. They look exactly like photo and taste fabulous. I would say these are an adult cookie. Perfect with coffee - after dinner.

Yum. I found these very addictive. I liked the small size of the cookie. I did roll the tsp of dough in my hands before baking because it gave them a prettier appearance.

thought these cookies lack flavor after I bake a test batch so I ended up mixing cinnamon & sugar to roll them in, which made them taste more like a snickerdoodle. I thought they were a bit dry too. Will stick to my standard sugar cookie recipe.

These are really good. I added a little salt and might try them with a little lemon next time.

Very yummy cookies. Not so good for cutting with cookie cutters (the dough was too soft and a bit greasy) but the cooked cookie was a really good traditional sugar cookie. Very moist and not too sweet.

I made these for St. Patrick's Day. I added green food color and sprinkled them with green and orange colored sugar. They were well-received. My husband rated them 'very good'.

My favorite sugar cookie recipe by far. Easy and delicious (soft and chewy). I flatten balls on the cookie sheet and let my kids use cookie cutters. We then ice and sprinkle them and they freeze very well. Many, many compliments on these. I think they would be great dipped in sugar (colored or not) and without the icing as well! Fabulous!

By far, one of the best cookies I have ever tasted let alone made. They are soft and melt in you mouth delicious.

This is an excellent cookie. I have made them many times. I made them for my grandson's Birthday to take to his class and I added sprinkles on top and also for my co-workers, they absoulutly loved them. I also made them for Christmas and added red & green sprinkles.

I add almond extract and chopped

almonds to this recipe for a change of flavor. Also, add 2 tsp. lemon & 1 tsp. nutmeg. I love this as they freeze well too.

This is one of my favorite recipes to make, but they are very rich. I double the recipe but only use 1 1/2 cup of oil and they don't crumble as bad. I still get rave reviews. I also roll them in powdered sugar then flatten.
