AMISH SUGAR COOKIES

These Amish Cookies called out to me in an issue of Taste of Home recently. They looked so uncomplicated and simple, in an elegant way, not a basic way. They’re just so… pretty. Aren’t they? And these Amish Sugar Cookies aren’t even iced, so I figured they must be a really good cookie if they can stand on their own without a glaze or icing.

That said, I have made these and frosted them. It’s not necessary, but it’s pretty damn amazing. We’ll get to those in a few days.

These Amish Sugar Cookies are everything I was hoping for when I wanted to try a new sugar cookie this year. I made these Classic Sugar Cookies last year, and I adore those cookies. They’re sooooooo rich. They’re ultra-chewy, with crispy edges, and really, really rich…. luxurious even.

Like these Amish Cookies, those Classic Sugar Cookies melt in your mouth, but the texture is different altogether – chewier and crispier.
