These Soft Buttermilk Sugar Cookies are tender, lightly sweet, and perfect for a classic homemade treat. The buttermilk keeps the centers soft while the edges turn just golden.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. Pour in the buttermilk and mix until uniform.
  5. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  6. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  7. Scoop 1.5 tablespoon portions of dough and roll each portion into a ball, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Flatten each dough ball slightly and sprinkle with the reserved sugar.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers remain soft.
  10. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack after cooling on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
