Buttermilk Cookies

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease two large baking sheets.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Slowly stir in the buttermilk.
4. Drop tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
