Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are just set and starting to lightly brown around the edges. Do not overbake.
Step 8
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve the cookies plain, or dust them with powdered sugar or glaze them with your favorite frosting for added sweetness.
