Step One:

1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 cup buttermilk

Combine above ingredients well and set aside.

Step Two:

6 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder

In a separate bowl, combine above ingredients well, then mix both sets of ingredients together well and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 400°F when ready to bake. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto greased baking sheet and bake until edges are lightly golden brown (this depends on the size and thickness of the cookies being baked). Average sized cookies will take 10-12 minutes. Watch carefully and do not over-bake.
