Buttermilk Sugar Cookies

Come on in and have a cookie. This is a new recipe for me. I have no clue what happened to me this weekend. I needed buttermilk so I asked my husband to pick some up. Then I asked a friend to pick some up for me......and then another friend. So in a household that does not consume much buttermilk I have 1 1/2 gallons. I am looking for any recipes with buttermilk. Here are Buttermilk Sugar Cookies. Since I can't taste and smell I can't give you my personal recomendation. I can tell you about the texture. The texture is very nice. Chewy and moist. I am going to drizzle some chocolate on a few and frost some with a cream cheese frosting just for some variety.

Buttermilk Sugar Cookies

2 cups of sugar
1 cup shortening or 1 cup of butter (I used butter flavored crisco)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon soda
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups plain flour
dash of nutmeg or cinnamon (optional) (I used a heavy dash of nutmeg)

Blend and mix all ingredients well. Drop onto cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes at 375 degrees.

I would love it if you would leave a comment or a recipe for anything with buttermilk in it. LOL

2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour and baking soda, set aside. 2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat in the instant pudding mix until blended. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Blend in the flour mixture. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips and nuts. Drop cookies by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. 3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Edges should be golden brown
