Description

These soft Amish sugar cookies are buttery, rich, and delightfully tender. Made from simple pantry staples like butter, sugar, and flour, they produce about 50 perfectly tender cookies with a subtly sweet flavor and a lightly golden bottom edge. The recipe is straightforward, requiring no dough chilling, and uses easy mixing and baking techniques suitable for bakers of all levels.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 4½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking, then set them aside.
  2. Cream Butter, Oil and Sugars: In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the softened butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixing bowl and beat for an additional 2 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar until evenly combined.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients to Wet: With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture in small spoonfuls until the dough is well mixed and evenly combined without any streaks of flour.
  6. Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie dough scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them adequately. Bake in the preheated oven for 7 to 8 minutes or until the cookies are just lightly golden brown around the bottom edges.
  7. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to wire cooling racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • Parchment paper is optional but recommended for easy cleanup; cookies can be baked directly on ungreased cookie sheets if preferred.
  • The cookie dough does not require chilling. However, if you prefer a firmer dough, you can chill it without affecting cookie spread or texture.
  • Oven temperatures vary, so check cookies at the 7-minute mark to avoid overbaking and adjust baking times as needed.
