Notes
- This recipe makes about 6 dozen cookies.
- The dough for these Amish sugar cookies might be a bit soft once mixed. If it's a bit sticky, you can add another 1/2 to 3/4 cup of flour.
- The original recipe calls for both sugar and powdered sugar. Sugar is granulated (basic sugar) while powdered sugar is also known as confectioner's sugar - the fine white sugar that is used in icing, etc.
- You can use a fancy cookie scoop to get these onto a pan or simply use a spoon and butter knife.
- These cookies can stick to the pan so you might want to use parchment paper or one of those silicon baking mats. If you do just use a cookie sheet, be sure to let them rest for just a minute out of the oven before you take them off the pan.
