Amish Sugar Cookies

June 19, 2014 by mandyrecipebox

 These Amish Sugar Cookies are very simple and very delicious. I don’t know if they are a true Amish recipe, but I think the name comes because they are not fancy or difficult to make. They are a simple drop sugar cookie that melts in your mouth.

I am picky about sugar cookies. My grandma’s recipe is the best one out there, in my opinion. I don’t like crunchy sugar cookies. But these Amish Sugar Cookies are a delicate cookie that melts in your mouth. Slightly crispy on the outside that just makes your mouth happy. 
I received 3 Kitchen Executive Chef baking mats to review and I love them! I love that I don’t have cookie sheets to wash after baking. These mats just wipe right off!

Kitchen Executive Chef Silicone Baking Mats are made from 1.0mm thick silicone, which is 30% thicker than competitor’s mats,actually thicker than some of the bigger name silicone baking mats. This extra thickness makes these mats more durable and ensures they lay flat, making your baking more enjoyable.
They offer greater usable surface area, up to 20% more usable area, because of their thinner edging. You can bake more each time compared to other same size mats because of this.

You can do more than bake cookies on these mats. You can use them in place of cooking sprays, shortening, foil and parchment paper when baking. Roast veggies, fries, chicken nuggets, whatever! As you can see in the photo above, my cookies slid right off. You need these mats!

      I haven’t tried freezing them, but I don’t see why not.

    What do you mean by “oil”? That’s an incredibly vauge term. What type of oil do you use? I was thinking on using coconut oil for a summer-y flavor vibe.

      You can use any oil. I use olive or canola.

    These sound delicious! I think with a few changes on the flour I’ll be able to make them gluten-free so I can try them. If not, my grandchildren are going to love these either way! 🙂

      I hope a gluten-free version turns out for you!

    I’ve made this exact recipe for years….the only thing I do differently is flatten the dough with a glass dipped in sugar. I makes a lovely presentation. You can also try dipping half in melted chocolate. Beautiful! Every time I make these people beg for more!
