Amish Sugar Cookies

-

 As I am adding recipes from my recipe box, I am noticing there are a few things that I have multiple recipes of - Chocolate chip cookies, molasses cookies, lemon bars and now sugar cookies.  I love a good amish sugar cookie.  I have found the taste of the dough seems to be a prediction of the taste of the baked cookie.  This recipe makes some phenomenal dough, so it ought to make a great cookie right!?!?  One more thing - if you are looking for something different, try making sandwich cookies with these sugar cookies.  Put buttercream frosting between two sugar cookie cutouts.  Delish!  You can even roll the edges in chocolate chips or sprinkles.  Makes for a pretty cookie.  By the way, do not skip the cream of tartar.  It is mandatory for this recipe.  Also, try keeping dough in the refrigerator or even freeze some dough formed into balls.  There's nothing like a fresh baked cookie!


1 c. butter

1 c. oil

1 c sugar

1 c powdered sugar

2 eggs

2 t vanilla

4 1/2 c flour

1 t baking soda

1 t cream of tartar


Mix butter, oil and both sugars oil well blended.  Careful when you first start the mixer as the oil can be a bit sloshy when you first start.  Add remaining ingredients and mix well.  Drop by teaspoonfuls onto uncreased cookie sheet.  Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Makes about 5 dozen

Swiss Chicken Casserole

This was an  easy & tasty casserole, My girls also loved it, which makes it a win win!  I served it with green beans and buttermilk biscuits, which was a great combination.  I have to admit that I forgot to buy the cream of chicken so I had to use the cream of mushroom that I had in the pantry.  I think it was still great!  6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts 6 slices Swiss cheese 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup 1/4 cup milk 2 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix          (Pepperidge Farm Herb Blend is good) 1/4 cup butter Preheat oven to 350.  Arrange chicken in 12x8x2 baking dish.  Top with Swiss cheese slices.  Combine soup and milk and stir well.  Spoon mixture over chicken and sprinkle with stuffing mix.  Drizzle butter or margarine over crumbs.  Bake for 50 minutes and enjoy!
