Christmas Cookies

1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup buttermilk*
5 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Cream butter and sugar. Add beaten eggs, vanilla and buttermilk. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Chill. Roll out and cut. Frost and decorate with your favorite frosting. These are similar to a recipe on Abby?s Kitchen, however I have always used buttermilk.

* Powdered buttermilk does not have to be mixed separately. I just add the powder with my flour and the water with the my other liquids and let it mix in the batter.
