[–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee -1 points 2 years ago (2 children) How is this "Amish"? This is just a regular American cookie recipe with some pumpkin instead of half of the butter. How can Amish people even make these? They can't grow their own vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, or cloves. How can they make the baking powder and soda? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] MONKEYHOG@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago You have a weird view of Amish people. They aren't hunter gatherers, they're not disconnected from trade with the outside. In fact they're rather good at it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TheOneWithTheHair@lemmy.world [S] 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) "They also buy things from non-Amish sources like grocery stores, convenience marts, and superstores like Wal-Mart and Costco." https://www.dutchcrafters.com/blog/6-things-you-might-not-know-about-the-amish-and-money/ That's why you can see them in towns with their horse-drawn buggies.
