[@Jeni_Gough]

This is a fantastic story about your family! I love it and thank you so much for the recipe! ❤

[@lonewolffullmoon]

Thanks for the recipe cool story

[@Shyeena]

Ive had this recipe since 1987! Maybe the story is true? Idk but every cookie maker was thrilled to have it. I have substituted my Baking Powder with Cream of Tarter because it makes a more Chewy Cookie.

[@Jeni_Gough]

Shieena Living Waters I will have to try it with cream of tarter next time, thank you! 😊

[@sarahcontento9516]

Hi Jeni could you make a video on your amish sugar cookies?

[@Jeni_Gough]

I could totally do that!! 😊

[@miltonbrendle7115]

Love the large canisters and bowls. May I ask where you found them?

[@Jeni_Gough]

Thanks! The jars are Anchor Hocking and they came from my local Kroger store (Fry's Marketplace) and I can't remember the bowl brand. But the bowls are large and have a rubber bottom so it doesn't slide around while mixing. 😊

[@JAHumanBeing]

...also I cut the chocolate bar on an angle with a large kitchen knife! Best buttery, crispy cookies ever!!

[@teresaward8778]

I love those cookies. I remember the story from many years ago.

[@marysewitsky4823]

You can order a replacement blade on amazon

[@keithandlindabaldrey7413]

Use the handle of your spoon. Less muscle required and less clumping on the spoon.

[@Jeni_Gough]

Keith AndLinda Baldrey I will try that! Thank you for the tip 😊

[@keithandlindabaldrey7413]

Jeni Gough that tip came from KZbin cooks, artisansteve and john kirkwood. Happy baking.

[@lemonhead5531]

nice video.

[@ps0726]

Oops, you said 4 tsp baking soda, 4 tsp baking powder and 2 tsp salt, which is it? The recipe shows 2for baking powder and 2 tsp baking soda and 1 salt.

[@Jeni_Gough]

Go by the written recipe! Sometimes I mix it up when talking. 🤣

[@ontarioweddingofficiant9691]

are the oats, old fashion or quick cook

[@Jeni_Gough]

Old fashioned

[@marysewitsky4823]

Where did you get those pop up parchment sheets? Thanks

[@Jeni_Gough]

At my local Kroger store. I use Kroger, Reynolds and Wilton brands. 😊

[@marysewitsky4823]

Thanks

[@Jeni_Gough]

@@marysewitsky4823 Yw! 😊

[@michelesalazar2045]

I'm trying these, Would to have the Amish sugar cookie receipt PLEASE

[@Jeni_Gough]

I do have an Amish sugar cookie recipe, I will have to dig for it! Will put it up when I find it. :)

[@namowhasti1192]

Lol... I'm making these right now and I'm going to need a bigger bowl.

[@Jeni_Gough]

You need a huge bowl!! 😂😂😂

[@marysewitsky4823]

I d just divide it in half. Looks like a pretty standard recipe except the ground oatmeal. Then it would fit in mixer.

[@JAHumanBeing]

The 80"s and emails? I believe the story. But not sure about the retaliation being out in emails at that time...🤔 I believe NM decided to make the recipe public after parts of this story happen...who else has recipes that make 112 cookies, again🤔....needless to say, the cookies are unforgettably delicious!!😋

[@Jeni_Gough]

In the 90's the emails with the recipe and the story about the cookies in the 80's, were being sent back and forth. Back when there just dial up! It was the first email I actually printed out!

[@marysewitsky4823]

How about food processor grating, just pulsing

[@Jeni_Gough]

It’s nit a lot of grated chocolate, so doing it with a hand grater is no big deal. 😊

[@JAHumanBeing]

I put on disposable gloves and got in there, rolling the dough in cling wrap that made five huge rolls! I cut the 1st roll while it was still soft and froze the other four rolls to cut and bake as needed! I needed all four rolls within 2 weeks!😳

[@lonewolffullmoon]

Great tip 👍

[@susangonzalez6200]

It looks awesome. The amount of baking soda and baking powder you put 4 tsp instead of 2 tsp per recipe. Which is the correct amount?

[@Jeni_Gough]

I said 4, it was two. I explained that on the video and put the correct amount across the screen right then. I also put the recipe in the description box below. Sorry for the confusion 🙂

[@samename6479]

I found this recipe in 1995 but it's not a true story. Great recipe though.
