Ready In: 35 mins
Serves: 30
Ingredients
- 3 1⁄2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 cup buttermilk
- extra sugar, for sprinkling the tops
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375; line cookie sheets with baking parchment paper for best results, but you can grease or use non-stick spray if necessar-- I use the non-stick spray all the time.
- Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; set aside.
- Cream together sugar and butter.
- Add eggs one at a time and beat; then add the vanilla and beat.
- Stir the flour mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, into the sugar mixture, stirring until smooth.
- Drop by tablespoons or a small scoop (about 1 tablespoon capacity) onto the prepared cookie sheet.
- Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with additional granulated sugar (I will flatten the tops just very slightly to hold more sugar) and bake for 7-10 minutes, until just firm.
- Wait just a minute and then remove from the cookie sheets and cool on a rack.
- *Asa substitute for the buttermilk, add 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice to a measuring cup and add milk to make 1 cup; let stand for 10 minutes before using.
