Grandma Amico's Buttermilk Sugar Cookie Cutouts image

Grandma Amico made the best buttermilk sugar cookies. These cookies are soft and fluffy and a family tradition for us. Not just for the holidays, but whenever we get the urge for cookies, we make these. I will also leave dough in the fridge for up to a week and make cookies whenever I like. Dough freezes well for later cookie baking.

Time 2h40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup white sugar
½ cup shortening
½ cup buttermilk
1 egg
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup confectioners' sugar, or more as needed
1 tablespoon milk, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Mix sugar, shortening, buttermilk, and egg together in the bowl of an electric stand mixer (such as KitchenAid®) until creamy.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla extract, and salt in a bowl. Beat into sugar mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Leave dough to set in a refrigerator for at least 2 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Roll dough out on a lightly floured work surface using a lightly floured rolling pin to desired thickness. Cut into shapes using cookie cutters and place onto ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bottoms begin to lightly brown, 8 to 12 minutes. Let cookies cool completely on wax paper or a wire rack, 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Combine confectioners' sugar and milk in a bowl. Mix into a paste, adding more sugar or milk as needed. Spread frosting thinly onto cooled cookies and cover with sprinkles.

I'm not a huge fan of sugar cookies, but these ones are actually pretty good. They're not too sweet and they have a nice, subtle flavor.

These cookies are just okay. They're not bad, but they're not amazing either.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these cookies were a disaster! They were dry and crumbly, and they tasted like cardboard.

These cookies didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. The dough was too sticky and the cookies spread too much in the oven.

I've been making these cookies for years and they're always a hit! The buttermilk gives them a slightly tangy flavor that really sets them apart from other sugar cookies.
