Old-Fashioned Amish Sugar Cookies

I shared a Facebook teaser a couple weeks ago: I’ve unearthed a closely guarded secret recipe for Helen Rudesill’s signature Amish Sugar Cookies. Stay tuned for the big reveal in a few weeks, but you can sample AND get the recipe by attending the Ensemble Music Society of Indianapolis‘ November 29 concert featuring the Escher String Quartet!

A friend of mine had been on the hunt for this amazing, melt in your mouth old-fashioned Amish sugar cookie recipe for years. It was from an old church cookbook which is totally out of circulation. Through some sleuthing, she was able to obtain said recipe and use it to promote an upcoming concert. And in exchange for a little social media push, I was given the recipe to test!

My family loves the classic, frosted, cut out sugar cookies for the holidays. These are just as delicious, but with a totally different texture.



Not chewy like my frosted cookies, nor “short” like the classic shortbread cookies, but uniquely wonderful.  Despite the lack of frosting, they got rave reviews from the troops. If you’re looking for a new, classic cookie to bake, give these Old-Fashioned Amish Sugar Cookies a try!

Besides butter, these old fashioned sugar cookies have a cup of oil as one of the ingredients. I used canola oil, but any mild vegetable oil would work.
An overnight chilling helps the flavors meld and the gluten settle. Don’t try to bake them without chilling first.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (I used canola)
  • 2 eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 4 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Mix together the sugar, powdered sugar, butter and vegetable oil. Add eggs and vanilla and beat well.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together, the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the sugar mixture until it’s all incorporated.
  3. Cover dough with plastic wrap and chill a few hours or overnight.
