Amish Sugar Cookie Recipe
Description
This recipe mixes softened butter and vegetable oil with both granulated and powdered sugars to create a smooth base. Eggs are added one at a time followed by vanilla extract to add moisture and flavor. The dry ingredients consist of all-purpose flour combined with baking soda, cream of tartar for slight acidity, and salt to balance sweetness. Mixing the wet and dry components until just combined preserves tenderness.
The dough is scooped onto greased cookie sheets in small portions and baked at 375°F for 8 to 10 minutes. Baking stops when the bottoms develop a light golden hue, preventing over-browning while ensuring a soft inside. The cookies cool on racks to finish setting. An optional glaze can be drizzled on top for added sweetness and visual appeal.
The cookies have a classic sugar cookie flavor: buttery, mildly sweet, and tender with a slight chew from the balanced fat blend of butter and oil. They lend themselves well to decorating or serving with beverages like tea or coffee.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Grease a cookie sheet and preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C
- Use a large bowl and add the butter, oil, white sugar, and confectioners' sugar. Mix them together until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time and beat in between each egg. Mix in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Add the flour to the sugar mixture and mix until just combined.
- Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls onto the greased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack.
- Optional: drizzle the cookies with glaze.
