Amish Peppermint Mocha Sugar Cookies

December 2, 2019 By: Paula1 Comment

It’s the season for Christmas baking. The Amish know a thing or two about that. Here’s one of my favourite cookie recipes. These Amish peppermint mocha sugar cookies are sure to knock your socks off.

I don’t have a lot of time for baking lately, but when I do bake, then it’s something I know everyone will love. Amish baking traditions are rich and have been around for a long time. What I love about these Amish peppermint mocha sugar cookies is that there are no really extra far out unnecessary ingredients. Most of the ingredients are actually pretty easy to find.

Amish Sugar Cookies Recipe

These Amish sugar cookies are just the right blend of sugary smooth buttery goodness and bright crunchy peppermint. I love peppermint this time of year especially. What’s a bit different about this recipe is the addition of chocolate chips. Everyone knows that chocolate and peppermint are the best combination of flavours!
