I've never been a huge sugar cookie baker because they never seemed to come out right...that has all changed with this recipe! My daughter decided she wanted sugar cookies as her thank-you gift at their upcoming wedding so I've been experimenting ever since. The recipe is easy and is the best we've ever tasted. The buttermilk makes a world of difference. Thank you SO much for sharing your recipe! -
These are wonderful cookies. I didn't have any buttermilk on hand so I soured milk by adding a Tablespoon of white vinegar. I rolled the cookies in a ball and rolled them in sugar and flattened them with a glass bottom that was dipped in sugar. My husband loved these. Thanks for the great recipe. -
Perfect for the Holidays, especially for cutout cookies. I make cookies with my Nieces and Nephews during the Holiday's, so Thanks I'll use this at Christmas.

I live in Tennessee where I am a full-time nursing student. This past May 2006 I finally graduated after 4 long years of college with my Associate Degree in Nursing. It is great to know that I can be a part of something so important. For fun, I like to jog, swim, hike,(basically anything outdoors), cook and read. There is just something about cooking that is relaxing, dontcha' think? My favorite cookbook is the Betty Crocker cookbook. My passions are my boyfriend of 6 years, Benjamin, my 2 baby kittens: Midoria (Middy for short) - she is 6 years old; and Ki-Ki - he is 4 years old...but they are both still kittens to me. They are the foundation and true essence of my life. I thank God everyday that I have been so blessed to have them in my life. My pet peeves are mean people.
Here is a pic of my little KiKi B.B.♥:
