Amish Sugar Cookies!





We have basically NO food in our house, but we almost always have "ingredients."  The kids wanted to bake cookies, but most cookie recipes call for brown sugar. . . well. . .we're out of that too, so we opted for sugar cookies!  Easy recipe made with all ingredients I guarantee you have on hand! They're soft, but flaky.  Crisp on the edges and chewy in the middle.  EXACTLY the texture I love!

"Amish" Sugar Cookies

1 cup softened butter
1 cup oil
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp salt
4 1/2 cups flour
SPRINKES!  (Or not. . . you can eat them naked, they taste the same!)




1.  Cream together butter, oil, and sugars.

2.  Add in eggs at a time.

3.  Mix in vanilla, baking soda, salt, and cream of tartar.

4.  Add in flour 1 cup at a time.  Mix until combined. 

5.  Drop onto cookie sheets using a cookie scoop and top with sprinkles.  Bake at 350 for 10 minutes!  Yum!
