by orsoshesays( since I found this recipe on Pinterest and read about it, she is right, it's the best! and the frosting makes it so magical! I have made these so many times in the last few months, my kids can't get enough of them )
4 sticks (2c.) softened butter
3 c. granulated sugar
5 1/2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
6Tbsp. buttermilk
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a mixer, cream together butter and sugar until somewhat smooth
3. Beat in eggs and vanilla
4. In another bowl stir together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, and baking powder
5. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed ingredients. Mix well.
6. Add the buttermilk to make the dough soft, not wet.
7. Roll into med/small balls and place on cookie sheet and bake until done.
8. After 8 min, check them and wait until the edges barely start to show a golden color...
9. Remove from oven and let them rest on cookie sheet several minutes. Then cool on rack
10. Frost: * 1 stick softened butter (not too soft!) (1/2 c.) * 4 c. powdered sugar * 1 tsp. vanilla * milk to consistency * food coloring ---- mix well with hand mixer. * I add sugar crystal sprinkles on top, it seems to add a magical touch! Enjoy!
And yes this is going on my Christmas plate this year - My daughter came in tonight and said she was craving these, it's becoming an addiction! Enjoy!
This is a good one.
