ingredients

1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 sticks butter
2 eggs beaten
3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup buttermilk with 1/2 tsp baking soda added to it

directions

1
Cream together sugars, butter and eggs.
2
Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3
Add sifted mixture to sugar mixture. Add vanilla. Add buttermilk.
4
Cover and place in refrigerator overnight.
5
Put dough on lightly floured bread board. Pat or roll out and cut out in desired shapes. Use only 1/3 dough at a time to prevent over flouring the dough. This is a “wet” dough. Drinking glasses make nice cookie cutters if you don’t have holiday cookie cutters.
6
Bake cookies 8-10 minutes in 350 degree oven. Let cool and ice with homemade buttercream icing.
