Soft Buttermilk Sugar Cookies

Soft Buttermilk Sugar Cookies

yields 3 dozen cookies

·         1/2 cup softened butter (1 stick)

·         1/2 cup granulated sugar

·         1/2 cup brown sugar

·         1 egg

·         3/4 cup buttermilk

·         1 tsp vanilla

·         2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

·         1/2 tsp baking soda

·         1/2 tsp salt

1.   Cream together butter and sugars for 1 minute. Add in egg, buttermilk and vanilla and mix again until smooth.

2.   Combine dry ingredients and add 1/2 to the mixing bowl. Mix, then add the other half. Dough will be softer and stickier than normal cookie dough. Cover and let cool in fridge for 1 hour.

3.   Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

4.   Scoop out about 1.5 to 2 TBSP of cookie dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Pat the tops of each dough ball to smooth edges. Bake for 9-10 minutes and let cool for an additional 2 minutes on the cookie sheet.

5.   Transfer to a cooling rack. Once fully cool, frost with about 1 TBSP of vanilla buttercream per cookie. Add sprinkles to the top of the frosting, if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
