How to Make Amish Christmas Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1/2 cup molasses and 2 large eggs until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.
- Place cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
