(1 cup milk and teaspoon of vinegar to make buttermilk)
For softer cookies, add a tablespoon of sour cream, yogurt or buttermilk.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Beat together butter and sugar on low speed of mixer until light and fluffy. Stir in flavorings and egg. Mix. Stir in flour and baking soda
Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, shape dough into balls. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Press cookie down slightly to flatten using the bottom of a glass which has been dipped in sugar. Colored or white sugar may be used. Bake for 9-11 minutes, just until cookies have set. Remove cookies to a wire rack to cool.
Variation- Substitute 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar for the cup of sugar in above recipe. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours (or overnight). Roll dough out 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface and cut out shapes. Sprinkle with colored sugars or frost. Bake on ungreased cookie sheets, 2 inches apart in a 375°F oven for 7-8 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
