good tasting, cakey yes but I expected that after reading the reviews. I added some almond extract along with the vanilla and sprinkled lots of colored sugar. I refrigirated the dough for about an hour to minimize spreading and it worked pretty well. I'd make them again but maybe add nuts or choc chips.

I liked these. My husband just thought they were okay. I experimented using half wheat flour, and liked that as well. Gave it a slightly different taste and texture.

I absolutely love these cookies! I called them "cake cookies", since that is what they came out as. The batter spreads out a lot-I only fit 9 cookies on a cookie sheet, but the result is fabulous! The hold themselves up just enough and tasted great! Instead of buttermilk, I used 1/2 souf cream, 1/2 milk and lemon juice(1tbs lemon to 1 cup of milk.) The kids in my neighborhood loved them! Makes enough to shere with everyone! The taste wasn't too sweet or too bland. For the kids I addded frosting on top. I will deffinately make these again!

I failed to read the reviews before I made these, since I was still new here. All in all, I must say that these cookies turned out to be cakelike. I threw them away.

These cookies would have been better as muffins or something. I've never had cookie batter come out so thin. They spread on the cookie sheet like pancakes before baking. I put chocolate icing on top and they were edible, but I won't be making them again. I did use butter instead of shortening. Could that be why?

Many have commented that these have little taste. Well, that's because these cookies are best when iced. They are supposed to be that way. A dear neighbor used to bake these for our family every year at Christmas. I had the recipe but misplaced it when we moved away. Only last week, we were in a delightful Mennonite bakery and saw these cookies labeled Buttermilk cookies. My children were so excited. I got right online and found the recipe here. Dana, thanks for posting this wonderful recipe. These cookies are cake like in texture and simple in flavor. When used with cookie cutters they puff up wonderfully and are easy for children to decorate. We have often added peppermint or lemon to the icing.

I thought that they were way to spongy and cakey. It's more like a pancake than a cookie. However, they tasted alright.

Loved these cake-like cookies -- a great way to use leftover buttermilk. Just a word of advice, watch the baking time as the bottoms burn easily! I have a convection oven and usually don't have that problem, but these cookies go from undercooked to burned in seconds.

These were easy enough to make but the flavor was lacking. I put red hots on some and cinnamon/sugar on some and they still had something to be desired. If I make them again I may use butter flavored Crisco rather than plain shortening. I am a cookie junky. There are no bad cookies just some are better than others. These aren't the best but they aren't the worst either.

I found this recipe when searching for the ingredients in my botched biscuits (4 batches of biscuits with 16 batches worth of baking soda); I was able to save it with making 3 batches of this recipe. Keeping in mind that half of my shortening needed for the cookie recipe was already cut into most of my dry ingredients it all turned out pretty good. Will have to make it again, correctly, to see how much better they are. Mine had a texture similar to corn bread, and I tried to make bar cookies out of them in my jelly roll pan. It wasn't my night for baking because I got too much batter in the pan so it was more like a thick jelly roll or a thin cake. *grin* Ended up being the perfect size for tot snacks. Would be really tasty with chocolate frosting!! It received top ratings from DH, a 20-month old and a 7 month old! (As well as the 'chef' in question). Hope you enjoy them as much as we did!

These had little taste and we found them too soft. Easy to make but would have liked them a little crisper. I tried the sugar on top and it disappeared into the cookie while baking. Maybe a little lemon zest or almond flavoring instead of vanilla would help.

Pretty unique cookie and they turned out good! (I was looking for something to use some left-over buttermilk for and found this recipe!) The last batch I made, I tossed in some grated white chocolate chunks and WHOA, they were pretty good that way too! Thanks for sharing the recipe Dana!

Everyone loved the recipe. The cookies are very light. If you use the recipe for cut-outs, the cookies will turn out very large. Thanks!
