Calories: 115kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter room temperature, 8 ounces
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 300 grams
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 4 grams
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 358 grams
- 1 teaspoon baking soda 6 grams
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 2 grams
- 3-4 tablespoons buttermilk divided
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375ºF. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats.
- In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer to cream together butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed and set aside. 1 cup salted butter, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. The dough will be very crumbly and floury.
- Add just enough of the buttermilk to moisten the dough and make it soft, but not wet. Start with 1 tablespoon and mix well on low speed. It will most likely come together into a nice dough. If it isn't, add another 1/2 to 1 tablespoon buttermilk until it forms a dough. 3-4 tablespoons buttermilk
- Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Dip a glass with a flat bottom in sugar, then press down gently on the dough balls to slightly flatten them. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough balls.
- With a pastry brush, brush the top of each cookie lightly with the remaining buttermilk. Sprinkle with colored sugar or colorful sprinkles.
- Bake cookies for 8 minutes. Take them out of the oven before they get golden brown. Let stand for 2 minutes on the baking sheets before removing cooling on a wire rack.
