Tips:

Use high-quality butter. Amish sugar cookies are best made with high-quality butter. This will give the cookies a rich, flavorful taste.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies light and airy.
Chill the dough before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
Bake the cookies at a low temperature. This will help to ensure that the cookies are cooked through without overbrowning.
Let the cookies cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
