    Amish 3 Gallon Cookies

    Published: Nov 7, 2017 · Updated: Nov 7, 2017 by Kevin Williams | 1 Comment

    1. Mix together, one ingredient at time:

    • 5 eggs
    • 5 cups brown sugar
    • 3 cups butter
    • 3 cups milk

    2. In a separate bowl, next mix together:

    • 6 tsp. baking powder
    • 4 cups all purpose flour

    3. Add 3 tsp. baking soda dissolved in ½ cup hot water and 2 tsp. vanilla to the dry mix.  Blend.
    4. Combine the dry and wet mixtures and blend. Add more flour as needed (should be around 8 cups) until dough is the right consistency for cookies.
    5. Drop dough onto a greased cookie sheet.  You can also roll it out using enough flour on the board so it rolls nicely.
    6. Bake for 12 min at 400 degrees F, or until cookies turn brown.

      Do you know how these cookies got their name? Maybe because the recipe makes a lot?

    Hi There, I'm Kevin!

    Welcome to Amish365, where I share my knowledge of Amish cooking and culture! I’ve spent almost three decades exploring Amish settlements and kitchens from Maine to Montana and almost everywhere in between. I’ll occasionally throw in stories of my travels, journalism adventures (I’m a Pulitzer prize-nominated journalist), fascination with grocery stores and Kmarts, and much more!
