GRANDMOTHER'S SUGAR COOKIES

This is a cut out sugar cookie recipe. They can be rolled either thick or thin depending on preference and then frosted and or decorated.

2 cups sugar
1 cup butter or margarine
2 eggs
2 tsp.vanilla
2 tsp. baking soda dissolved in 2 Tablespoons warm water
1 cup buttermilk
1 tsp salt
Flour to make a soft dough- about 5-6 cups-MORE IF NEEDED
Cream sugar and butter. Add eggs and vanilla then baking soda in water. Alternately add buttermilk& flour with salt. Chill dough for several hours. Roll on floured surface and cut out. Bake 350� for 10 minutes. Cool then frost & decorate. I prefer mine sprinkled with sugar before baking but the family likes frosting.
