Soft & Chewy Brown Sugar Cookies

But not too much sprucing, because that would be decidedly NOT Amish. I just got a little fancy and added brown sugar instead of granulated…and some cinnamon, because cinnamon is super Amishy. Ya think?
How to Make Amish Brown Sugar Cookies
The recipe is almost identical to the original, with the same addition of vegetable oil to the butter.
The batter is smooth and gorgeous. And yes, heavy on the cinnamon.
Using a cookie scoop drop the dough onto a lined baking sheet. Now, I added sprinkles. You totally do not have to. And actually some of you let me know that sprinkles are decidedly NOT Amish. I get it, sprinkles are fancy, and anything Amish should be plain. But, since sprinkles are not optional in my life, let’s just agree that my cookies are having a Rumspringa moment. K?Also tiny nonpareil sprinkles are from the devil. They get freaking everywhere. You’ve been warned.They will bake up into the most gorgeous, perfect cookies. Thick and soft in the middle. with a crispy, melty edge, thanks to the addition of powdered sugar.These are the answer to your fall sugar cookie craving!!
