Tips:

  • Use room temperature butter for a creamier cookie.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
