BUTTERMILK COOKIES



Buttermilk Cookies image

These are a soft, delicious, sugar cookie but with a hint of buttermilk. A friend of mine gave this recipe to me years ago and my family loves them so much that I have a hard time keeping them in the cookie jar! You can sprinkle the tops of these with a little granulated sugar just before baking or ice after completely cooled.

MENNONITE SOFT WHITE COOKIES



Mennonite Soft White Cookies image

A sugar cookie that is not too sweet, but deliciously soft! I was served cookies like these by a Mennonite couple, and searched desperately for the recipe until I found this one on a Mennonite cooking website! They've been a big hit wherever I've taken them, and they're a family favourite! I've modified the recipe to have coconut on top, like they were first served to me. If necessary, add an extra 1/4-1/2 cup of flour to keep the dough from being too sticky, and if you don't have buttermilk, use 1 cup milk + 1 tsp. vinegar and let stand for 5 minutes before use. The measurements for the icing are approximate, as I don't usually measure the amounts exactly and they aren't given on the recipe site; make more if you need/like more! Enjoy!

MENNONITE BUTTERMILK COOKIES



Mennonite Buttermilk Cookies image

This is my great-aunt Martha's recipe for Mennonite buttermilk cookies. She always made them with pink icing and sprinkles. They are incredibly light cookies that just melt in your mouth. It's impossible to only eat one! Every Mennonite family has a recipe for these Schmaunt kuchen, and they can be made with different flavour extracts such as lemon or almond. The recipe is for a large batch, but it can be halved. The cookies do well in the freezer for up to a month.

VERA'S MENNONITE CAKE



Vera's Mennonite Cake image

We first enjoyed this delicious cake at a Mennonite Church potluck dinner, courtesy of a wonderful baker named Vera. She didn't have a title for her cake, so I named it myself. The texture of this cake is like a big pound cake, and the taste reminds me of tutti-frutti!

BUTTERMILK COOKIES



Buttermilk Cookies image

These are great for showers, tea times, or just because. These are delicate cookies with an old fashioned taste. I real must in the summer with a glass of lemonade on the side.. I listed shortening or lard. I prefer the lard to be honest. Its not the healtiest choice for some, just the orginal recipe calls for lard. Never messed with perfection when I found it...
