Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instruction

  • Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract and then add the eggs, one at a time. Add buttermilk until incorporated.
  • Gradually add the flour and baking soda into the creamed butter mixture until just combined.
  • Divide the dough in half and wrap well in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for one hour to overnight.
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350º. Remove the dough from the refrigerator 15 minutes before rolling out on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough with cookie cutters and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned, about 10 to 12 minutes.
