Week 9 Part II

Grandma's Amish Cookies  [pg 123 HFC]
What makes a cookie an Amish cookie? Maybe that they are plain and simple. That would certainly be true of these cookies. Plain and simple ingredients blend together to create a plain and simple cookie—a sugar cookie, and a tasty one at that.

Plain and simple means most people would have all these ingredients in a simply stocked kitchen. But plain and simple means there is no flair, no complex blends of textures and tastes, and no "oooo yummy". While I will grant that these are a very good sugar cookie, in no need of frosting, they are plain and if you have read this blog at all you know that the missing ingredient for me would be *drum roll* Chocolate! So I would likely make these a black and white cookie if I make them again. You know, dunk 1/2 in some sort of chocolate glaze. They rate a solid four stars for a great buttery taste and flaky texture, but they are not on the list of must make again soon.
