Directions: |
Directions:Sift dry ingredients except soda which is added to the buttermilk. Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add vanilla. Add eggs one at a time. Dissolve baking soda in buttermilk. Add to butter mixture, then start adding flour mixture until it forms a dough that can be rolled out.
Form into a rectangle (flatten out) and cover with plastic wrap. Chill for a couple of hours. Remove from refrigerator and cut dough into thirds. Roll out one section at a time and keep the other dough chilled until ready to use. Roll on a lightly floured board to 1/4 inch thick and cut with a 2 or 3 inch biscuit cutter. Lay on cookie sheet that has been lined with parchment paper and sprinkle with sugar or a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake for 7-9 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. Let stand on cookie sheet for a few minutes before removing to baking racks. |

Notes: A true Southern cookie! These cookies are soft, have a wonderful flavor and the recipe makes a lot of cookies. They were almost always in someone’s lunch box at school. Granny most always had tea cakes or sugar cookies in a big blue bowl on top of her wood stove.
