I typically don't bake cookies for Christmas, because I make candy trays. However, last year I decided I wanted to make sugar cut-out cookies with homeade icing. After trying a few recipes that failed (had NO taste), my Aunt Mary gave me this recipe to try. They turned out perfectly and had great flavor.
This recipe calls for store-bought buttermilk and they do not turn out if you make your own. Please keep this in mind if you make some cut-out cookies.
3 cups sugar
3 eggs
3 sticks oleo
½ tsp salt
1½ tsp vanilla
¾ tsp nutmeg
1½ tsp baking powder
1½ cups store-bought buttermilk with 1½ tsp baking soda dissolved in
8-9 cups flour
Cream together sugar, eggs, oleo, and vanilla. Sift dry ingredients together. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture along with buttermilk and flour. Chill for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. Roll out and cut. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.
