Amish Triple treat cookies are one of these fun cookies that, while likely not Amish in origin, has found its way into Amish kitchens and hearts to become favorites within the community. The cookie is easy to make, but packed full of flavor.
I picked up some Triple Treat Cookies at a Mennonite bakery recently and, man, they were so good. And so big. Which made them my kind of cookie.
Busy Amish cooks and bakers weigh the same pros and cons out with baking cookies that anyone else does:
PRO: You can stick a plate of cookies out that will feed dozens and dozens of people with a portable dessert. No cutting. No utensils needed. Just grab and go. So cookies are perfect for an Amish after-church gathering where scores of people gather. A plate of cookies are often passed around during church services for the Amish kids in attendance.
CONS: Cookies, by their very nature, are labor-intensive. You have to tie up several cookie sheets and all your oven space for the afternoon as you pull cookies in and out of the oven.
There is appeal in making many cookie recipes into “bars”, but while that saves work on the front end, it creates work on the back end. If you make bars for a church gathering, for instance, they’ll still have to be cut into bars, packaged, etc
Amish triple treat cookies are an irresistible grab for anyone and brings out the kid in us all!

Are these cookies somewhat moist or are they a dry cookie?
I'd call it a medium cookie....on a scale of 1 - 10, 10 being driest, about a 6...
I printed the recipe and set it aside. Made it a few weeks back. I'm not sure if it's the butterscotch chips with the peanut butter and chocolate or what, but they have a really good flavor. Will put the recipe in my favorites folder.
Glad you enjoyed them, Deb, thanks for sharing your experience with them...they are a good cookie!
