Best Sugar Cookie Recipe?

There is nothing like a great sugar cookie recipe. Don't buy the roll of Pillsbury Dough, you can make a superb cookie that will remind you of the days when Grandma made them.

Grandma used to sit by the fire and drink her tea and Grandpa used to sip his coffee made from his French Press, before it was trendy. I loved looking them sit there enjoying the day. When we walked in the house there were smells arrival from the kitchen you just couldn't imagine. The sweet smell of warm sugar cookies invaded your senses. You knew today was going to be a treat.

It was a tradition that we enjoyed every year. The kitchen was filled with flour storms and the counters were sticky from Buttercream frosting. We had tin cookie cutters spread all over the table. I liked the boot best, my sister liked the angel.




Grandma had a extra way with those cookies and she handed down the formula to me. I was to teach my kids how to make these fantastic holiday sweets. It wouldn't be Christmas time without this formula of Yummy cookies.
I am publishing it because I want you to enjoy the best sugar cookie formula ever.

Grandma's beloved Sugar Cookie

1 cup white sugar

1 cup powdered sugar

1 cup butter

2 eggs beaten

1 tsp cream of tarter

1 tsp baking soda

½ cup corn oil

Cream the sugars and butter together. Mix the beaten eggs, vanilla and corn oil, in. Add the dry ingredients .Mix all the ingredients well and chill overnight.
Bake at 375 F for 8-10 minutes....Do Not Overcook.

We used to make the funniest colors to decorate the cookies, most of them looked inedible. They tasted heavenly, though. We figured if we made them look gross enough, the adults would leave them alone. We were wrong. everybody knew they were Grandma's famed sugar cookies from her handed down formula book. This page was splattered with all sorts of colors. I have that book now. I love production these cookies with my kids.

Amish recipe Snickerdoodles - A Party In Your Mouth

The Amish population lead a straightforward life. They live by working hard on their own land in communities. They are very social helping each other when they can. Their lives are simple. The work hard, they worship their God, and they take care of each other.

Amish women learn to cook at an early age passing down recipes from generations to generations. Mothers teach the daughters the secrets they were taught by their mothers. These are the secrets that pack so much flavor into their cooking. They do not overpower their food with spices and rubs. They know just the number of each herb and spice to accent the flavor of the dish and yet bring out the taste of the dish. There is nothing that tastes like the recipes of the Amish. These recipes are tried and true and delicious.

The Amish are known far and wide for their baked goods, and in any Amish community, you can find a front porch sale of Amish goodies being sold to bring in a diminutive bit of extra money for the family.




Try these sugar cookies that have just a hint of sweet cinnamon in them. They are one of our popular holiday cookies.

Amish Snickerdoodles

1/2 cup margarine

1/2 cup Crisco solid shortening

2 eggs

1 1/2 cups sugar

2 3/4 cups flour

2 teaspoon cream of tarter

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoon sugar

2 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix first four ingredients thoroughly. Presift the next 4 ingredients together.

Add the sifted ingredients to the first mixture. Form balls practically the size of walnuts. Roll into aggregate of sugar and cinnamon. Press down slightly when placing about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Cookies will flatten into circles as they cook. May top with red hots candies or leave unadorned.

These cookies store well in a Tupperware package and can be freezing if desired.

I love these Amish cookies and so does everybody else who has tried them. They are the most requested method from friends after attending a party where these are served.

For your next party or just to have anytime, try making some of these up. They are straightforward to make, taste great, and store well (that is - if any are leftover). I'm sure they will come to be one of your family's favorites as well.
