  2. Cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with buttermilk, until well combined.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.

Notes

For a richer flavor, consider using vanilla bean paste instead of vanilla extract. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
