Soft Buttermilk Sugar Cookies
For this recipe you will need:
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup of sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
2 cups of all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 cup buttermilk
cinnamon (Optional)
"My grandma used to make these family-pleasing cookies. The memory of her and these cookies go together!" ( Rowlett 547)
Step one: Cream together the shortening and the sugar until well combined.
Step two: Add in the eggs and vanilla to the mixture.
Step three: Sift the dry ingredients together. So that would be the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and the salt. You want to do this so that you don't get clumps of flour in a cookie, because then it would taste like you stuck your face in sand at the beach.
Step 4: Alternate adding in the buttermilk and the dry ingredients. So put half of one mixture and mix, and then add half of the other mixture until there is no more ingredients.
Step 5: Grease a pan and add the cookie batter. You then can add a mixture of cinnamon sugar on top of the batter in this step if you want to. (I'd say add it, because I made them and it's really tasty). No bias at all, but sugar and spice make everything nice.
Step 6: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and then cook the batter for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies begin to brown.
THESE COOKIES ARE SOOOOOO GOOD. Like I'm not bias or anything, well, okay yeah I am, BUT THEY ARE SOOOOO GOOD. They taste amazing and they are light and fluffy. This recipe was super easy to follow and I'd 100% make these cookies again in the future. One quick tip: they puff up and expand about double the size they were before they got cooked, so give them space between each other.
One thing I did do to alter the recipe, was I put some of the batter in a muffin tray. I did this because I'm lazy and I didn't want to waste time for a second batch of cookies. They cook the exact same way the normal cookies were cooked, and they become lovely little muffins. I already feel my lifespan shortening as I eat these yummy treats.
