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.

- 4 eggs
- 4 cups all-purpose flour

Buffalo Cauliflower
This Buffalo cauliflower is a great substitution for Buffalo wings and can be made gluten-free, vegan, or vegetarian. Make sure to coat your cookie sheet well with oil, or the cauliflower will stick. My husband and kids give this two thumbs up! You can dip the cauliflower in ranch or blue cheese for added flavor, but it doesn't need it.
Turkey Sliders
These little turkey slider sandwiches, made with deli turkey, come together in minutes and are perfect for parties, lunches, dinner, and game day snacks. We particularly enjoy using black pepper turkey for these sliders.
Skillet Cheeseburger Pasta
This skillet cheeseburger dish will make you nostalgic for grilling season while being a perfect off-season weeknight comfort meal. Don't be daunted by the long ingredient list—it's mostly easy-to-measure seasonings, and there's only a bit of chopping to do. The best part is that when you are finished, there is so little cleanup. The macaroni cooks right in the skillet.
