Buttermilk Sugar Cookies
"Soft Buttermilk Sugar Cookies are classic sugar cookies with the addition of buttermilk for an extra soft, pillowy texture. It’s a family favorite frosted sugar cookie recipe that you’ve got to try! These are easily one of the best sugar cookies I’ve ever tasted! They’re soft and pillow-like and they have the most amazing flavor. I’ve taken them to several family gatherings and parties now and they disappear lightening fast. Try them, you’ll love them."

- VANILLA BUTTERCREAM RECIPE
-
Cream together butter and sugars for 1 minute. Add in egg, buttermilk and vanilla and mix again until smooth.
-
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.
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
-
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.
-
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.
