Final Comments


This is a soft light cookie, very easy to make. Use a mixer to mix them. They won't be as fluffy if mixed/stirred by hand. The buttermilk and cinnamon give it a wonderful, unique flavor. If you want to get fancy, top with 1/2 candied cherry or pecan half. Can also top with raisins for a smiley face.
