THIN CRISPY AMISH SUGAR COOKIES



Thin Crispy Amish Sugar Cookies image

Thin & Crispy Amish Sugar Cookies are as rich and buttery as their other half, classic Amish Sugar Cookies. Instead of being soft and puffy, they're crisp and wafer-like. A sprinkling of sugar on top provides a little crunch & crackle too.

SUGAR COOKIES (LIGHT & CRISP)



Sugar Cookies (Light & Crisp) image

These Sugar Cookies are marvelous! Light, Crispy, Yummy and so easy. I got this recipe from a co-worker many years ago. Dieters beware--it is hard to eat just one. Tip-I have tried to substitute margarine in place of the butter, and the cookies were not as good. I have also used colored sugars for dipping the glass into for the holidays and that worked very well. Not recommended for rolled out cookies as the dough is too delicate.
