I loved the cake like texture! Unfortunately, I ran out of powdered sugar, so I couldnt make a frosting... but everyone still loved them.I think these would also be great with some homemade ice cream, definately best with something on them,rather than plain.

I've made this recipe twice now, and my cookies have turned out like small pancakes both times. They were very tasty and didn't last long!

These are a very good, traditional chewy sugar cookie.

I love sugar cookies so I doubled this recipe and quite frankly as followed these cookies are extremely bland. I salvaged the remainder of the batch by adding 1/2c. more sugar, 1tsp. cream of tartar, 1/2c more flour and rolling them in cinnamon/sugar to create snickerdoodles. Those I thought were edible. I didn't touch the rest of the sugar cookies I had remaining, but my husband and son seemed to think they were o.k.

Great recipe! I didn't have buttermilk, so I used this substitution: Put 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar in measuring cup. Add enough milk to reach 1 cup mark. Let sit for 5 minutes, and then use the amount needed.

These were very moist and fluffy. My kids and father loved them. I thought they tasted a little to much like a biscuit because of the buttermilk but frosted they are awesome.

more soft and fluffy then I wanted. I was looking for a chewy soft cookie. They did make great cupcakes which is what I ended doing with the dough. A little more buttermilk sugar and vanilla with 2 tsp baking powder and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Very excellent homemade cupcakes

I was looking for a denser textured sugar cookie, and this one was kinda disappointing. very light, airy texture, however, my 3 and 4 year old liked them. I wouldn't make these again, still on the quest for a slightly denser, soft sugar cookie

My family and friends loved these cookies. I have baked these at least 4 times since the holiday season started. Look for whole buttermilk to use as it will give your cookies a little more weight as opposed to the low fat.

Over all good recipie -- some what cake like , but just sweet enough and definitely is the fluffy type of sugar cookie. I colored extra sugar for christmas and poured on top of the cookie to give a little extra sweetness. My husband loves them ! Thanks !!

this recipe is exactly what I've been looking for for my daughters. they love the lofthouse cookies at the local supercenter and these are as close as I've found. they are even better the next day and stay soft (cake-like) just how we like. These are not a cut-out cookie so we use another recipe for that. but these are awesome. I added extra vanilla and a 1/2 cup more sugar (I used powdered sugar for the extra but next time will try just granulated). Excellent recipe. thanks so much!

These cookies are my dad's favorite!!! We sprinkle a bit of sugar and cinnamon on top once they come out of the oven. Be sure to keep these in a sealed container so they stay nice and soft.

These were exellent, easy and fast. I did refrigerate for a bit longer, though it wasn't neccessary. I sprinkeld them with red and blue sugar crystals because they were a 4th of July treat. The whole family loved them, though I dont think I cooled them long enough because some fell apart while taking them off the baking sheet, but I will make them agian.

I should have listened to the other reviewers. They practically WERE little bland cakes. I didn't even bother baking the rest of the dough. They tasted like bland pieces of biscuits or cornbread.

I made these cookies in an attempt to use up some leftover buttermilk and I was very suprised how much my kids, ages 5 and 11 LOVE THEM!(Husband too!) They are grabbing for them more than they would chocolate chip cookies, they bake into little fluffy cakes, very simple. I substituted butter for the shortening and I also drizzled with powdered sugar icing and some colored sugar just to dress them up a little. I will be making these again for sure.

We love this quick and easy soft, sweet cookie recipe. Yes they are like little cakes and that makes them wonderful!! You can add different flavors and spices. Try substituting yogurt for the buttermilk. Vanilla yogurt is my favorite but other flavored ones work too. Add some espresso powder (dissolved in a little water) and cocoa in the mix with a thin chocolate glaze for a yummy mocha treat.

At first taste, they were like sweet bisquits. But after a few bites, I decided that I had to have another....and another. I did sprinkle some "sugar in the raw" on them rather than white sugar. Would I make them again though? Probably not, there are other cookies that I covet more.
