Can’t stop making them! They are so good. I used salted butter and left out the salt for the dough!
These classic Brown Sugar Amish Cookies are soft, chewy, and bursting with warm cinnamon flavor. They’re incredibly simple to make and perfect for any occasion. Optionally, you can add a drizzle of maple glaze for an extra touch of sweetness.
