My Amish friend shared this recipe with us and it’s been our fave since!

Amish sugar cookies are a delightful treat that harken back to simpler times, when the kitchen was the heart of the home and baking was a cherished ritual. These cookies, with their tender crumb and buttery sweetness, are a staple in many Midwestern households. Passed down through generations, they embody the warmth and hospitality that the Amish community is known for. Making these cookies is like taking a step back in time, where each bite is a reminder of family gatherings and the comforting aroma of a bustling kitchen.

These cookies are perfect on their own, but they pair wonderfully with a tall glass of cold milk or a steaming cup of coffee. For a special treat, serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. They also make a lovely addition to a holiday cookie platter, nestled among other homemade delights.
