I found this recipe on Allrecipes.com. It was submitted by a lady named Sharon Gerstman. Thank you Sharon! Yummy, soft, delicious cookies. Reminds me of the kind we used to get in Amish Country (Lancaster, PA) when we went on a Saturday drive with Granny.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup shortening shopping list
- 1 cup white sugar shopping list
- 1 egg shopping list
- 3/4 cup buttermilk shopping list
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract shopping list
- 2 cups all-purpose flour shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
- (please note, I used butter instead of shortening. They turned out incredible!) shopping list
How to make it
- DIRECTIONS
- Cream together the shortening and the sugar. Stir in the egg, buttermilk and vanilla.
- Combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and stir to combine. Chill dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Drop mixture by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. If desired sprinkle tops of cookies with white sugar before baking.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
- Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 7 to 9 minutes or until set.
- (note, I used some colored sprinkled sugar as well as white)

I like your idea of using butter instead of shortening. You have my 5 and I am saving this recipe. I have also added it to my colection of buttermilk recipes. I would love it if you would join the group.
