One of my BFF’s and I love the Amish, one of my favorite times with her is when we went to Amish Country shopping and exploring.  These sugar cookies remind me of the dozen that I picked up on our trip and that my friends is why I LOVE these cookies so much!

  I am crazy  slightly obsessed with all things Amish.  I swear I want to be Amish until I realized that I probably wouldn’t have a blog, a phone or any those wonderful things I love.  BUT, I would get to bake, cook and clean all the time.  Wait, that’s what I do now.

Anyway, these little Easy Sugar Cookies are the best sugar cookies and if you insist on having a Sugar Cookie with frosting just add it to the top of these little guys.  I’m sure that would be delicious too!
