    Summer Sour Cream Cut-Outs

    Published: Jun 25, 2014 · Updated: Jun 25, 2014 by Kevin Williams | Leave a Comment

    Der Dutchman is a chain of Amish-style restaurants populating parts of Ohio, Indiana, and Florida.  They do a good job of delivering Amish ambiance to those seeking it.  Because they make and bake food in such large quantities I don't think it'll ever be the same as eating in an authentic Amish kitchen,but they do deliver a good experience for visitors.

    These are some "summer sour cream cut-out cookies" which I found at Der Dutchman's in Plain City a few days ago.  They didn't last long here.  And, frankly, I'm not quite sure how "summer" sour cream cut-outs are different than winter ones?  I think it may have to do with the shapes.  No angels, bells, or Christmas tree shapes, just simple rounds or beach-style star-fish with electric-colored frosting.

    cookiesCombine their nice light taste with the funky frosting and, yea, it's a summer cut-out. I reverse engineered the recipe using their ingredient label and some archived Amish cut-out recipes I had on hand and here it is!:) Enjoy!  The cookies at Der Dutchman, by the way, did not have cream cheese frosting. You can use the Amish recipe for cream cheese frosting below (one of my favorites) or just make your own.
