These are the fluffy melt-in-your-mouth type that you can often find in Amish stores. The recipe makes a batter more than a dough consistency. The recipe will make 12 dozen.

Amish Sugar Cookies

3 cups vegetable oil
3 cups sugar
4 eggs
8 cups flour
2 teas. baking soda
2 teas. baking powder
2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 teas. salt
1 1/2 teas. vanilla

Cream together the oil, sugar, and eggs. Mix in all the remaining ingredients, blending well.
Pour about a teaspoon of batter on the baking sheet leaving plenty of room between teh drops of batter. As they bake, these cookies will puff up and get quite large.
Bake at 350*F for 8-10 minutes.

For a variety, I will sometimes separate the batter into 2-3 portions. One I will make as directed above.
The second, I will add a little cocoa powder to make a chocolate cookie. The third, I will make as directed then half way through the baking, I sprinkle a few chocolate chips onto the cookie.
You can also change the flavor by substituting the vanilla with hazelnut or almond flavoring. To the chocolate, you can use a mint flavoring to make chocolate mint cookies.
