These are a soft, delicious, sugar cookie but with a hint of buttermilk. A friend of mine gave this recipe to me years ago and my family loves them so much that I have a hard time keeping them in the cookie jar! You can sprinkle the tops of these with a little granulated sugar just before baking or ice after completely cooled.
Ingredients
- 1 cup shortening
- 2 cups white sugar
- 4 eggs
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
