Let me first tell you how I came across this recipe. My oldest took a class in high school called ” Into to foreign cultures”, and in this class you learned about 6 different cultures. After each section the kids had to make or bring something that represented the culture they just learned about.
So my daughter was like mom, I chose Amish because it’s also part of our culture. So I went to https://www.pinterest.com/pin/414049759512798445/ ( after hrs of looking for something I easily cook bake). These cookies let me tell you it was so good. They were light and fluffy and not overly sweet. I will put the a link where you can find the recipe here https://thegoldlininggirl.com/2019/06/chocolate-chip-amish-sugar-cookies/#wprm-recipe-container-23050. So my daughter and I attempted to bake these cookies hoping they would be good. I never heard of Amish Chocolate cookies before. Would they taste as the chocolate chip cookies I was used to eating? So we made enough for the small class she had and we had a few left over. We had to give them a taste to see if we could predict if she would get a good grade for this section. When we tasted them all I can say is YUM! Needless to say she got A on this section. The teacher even asked for the recipe. These cookies have become our number one cookie to make, when the holidays come around. Or if we are in the mood for something sweet. Try them they are so good. I would love to hear if you tried this recipe and what you thought about it. Until then have a Blessed Day.

Notes
These are good for at least a week, but best within the first 3 days. After 3 days, they get crumbly and a bit on the drier side – still a delicious cookie though.
These freeze really well! Iced or plain, they freeze beautifully.
