Buttermilk Cookies from David
For cookies
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp grated lemon zest
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2/3 cup well shaken buttermilk
For glaze
1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
3 Tbsp well shaken buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. with rack in middle. Butter 2 large
baking sheets. Whisk together flour, zest, baking soda, and salt.
Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer
until pale and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each
addition, then beat in vanilla. Mix in flour mixture and buttermilk
alternately in batches at low speed, beginning and ending with flour
mixture, until smooth.
Drop level tablespoons of dough about 1 1/2 inches apart onto baking
sheets. Bake, 1 sheet at a time, until cookies are puffed and edges are
golden, 12 to 15 minutes per batch. Cool cookies on sheets 1 minute,
then transfer cookies to racks.
Glaze cookies: Whisk together all glaze ingredients and brush onto tops
of warm cookies. Let stand until cookies are completely cooled and glaze
is set.
