Yield Makes about 5 1/2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

For cookies
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2/3 cup well-shaken buttermilk
For glaze
1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
3 tablespoons well-shaken buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make cookies:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Butter 2 large baking sheets.
  • Whisk together flour, zest, baking soda, and salt.
  • Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in vanilla. Mix in flour mixture and buttermilk alternately in batches at low speed, beginning and ending with flour mixture, until smooth.
  • Drop level tablespoons of dough about 1 1/2 inches apart onto baking sheets. Bake, 1 sheet at a time, until cookies are puffed and edges are golden, 12 to 15 minutes per batch. Cool cookies on sheets 1 minute, then transfer cookies to racks.
  • Glaze cookies:
  • Whisk together all glaze ingredients and brush onto tops of warm cookies.
  • Let stand until cookies are completely cooled and glaze is set.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover buttermilk. They're also a great snack or dessert to have on hand. I like to freeze them and then take them out a few at a time to enjoy.

These cookies are amazing! I love the way the buttermilk gives them a slightly tangy flavor. I'll definitely be making these cookies again and again.

These cookies are delicious, but they're a bit too time-consuming to make. I think I'll look for a simpler recipe next time.

I found these cookies to be a bit dry. I think I'll add a little more buttermilk next time.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.
