Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking soda and salt.
- Use a hand mixer to beat the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl for about 3 minutes or until it's evenly distributed. Then, add in the eggs and vanilla.
- Gradually beat in flour mixture one cup at a time, and add in buttermilk mixture between each cup of flour, and mix until smooth. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Spoon roughly ¼ cup of batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure the cookies are several inches apart.
- Bake on the middle rack for 15 minutes, or until they are springy and the bottom is golden brown.
