Vintage Amish Sugar Cookies are the ultimate sugar cookie recipe! They are melt-in-your-mouth delicious, soft, thick and magical!

Who knows if these are actually amish but thats what theyre called so lets just run with it.. it sounds cool LOL

I iced them and topped them with candy cane pieces but you can do colored sprinkles (for whatever occasion you’re making them for) or even nuts if you’d prefer! 

These cookies are always on my baking list for the Holiday season, Christmas, Thanksgiving (i use orange sprinkles) even Valentines day with red sprinkles would be amazing! 

They need to be on your holiday cookie tray or platter- wonderful to give out as gifts, bake sales, pot lucks, send your child to school with them for their classmates or their teachers even, they will thank you for it!

    • Transfer the cookies to the wire rack to cool completely.

    Icing Directions:

    • Slowly add in 1 cup of powdered sugar at a time. Mixing directly after each addition. (Until the total of 4 cups of powdered sugar has been added.
    • Add additional milk or powdered sugar as needed to get a spreadable consistency. (If the icing runs off the cookies, add more powdered sugar.)

    • ENJOY!
