Amish Christmas Cookies

While the Amish may forgo a Christmas tree, holiday baking is certainly part of the holiday celebrations. Amish Christmas traditions are nothing if not simple, and not surprisingly, this old Amish Christmas cookie recipe is a very easy cookie recipe to make.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets.

Cream butter and sugar. Blend in molasses and eggs.

Sift dry ingredients together and stir into molasses-egg mixture. Roll dough out on a lightly floured board and cut into shapes with cookie cutters. Bake on greased cookie sheets for 10 to 12 minutes.
