For best results, ensure your ingredients are at room temperature before starting. Don't overbake the cookies! They should be soft, not crispy. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute it with 1 cup of milk plus 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container to maintain their soft texture.
