About

Amish Sugar Cookies have a long history in America; they hail from an Amish cookbook and might have been around since the colonial period. There really is something classic about them: a melt-in-your-mouth confection with buttery richness in each golden-brown bite. Two different sugars make sure the cookies serve up a truly enchanting sweetness. Amish Sugar Cookies call back to simpler times; they don't need fancy frostings or elaborate flavors. They're good old-fashioned sweetness that feels new again!
