Preparation

Step 1

1. Blend margarine and sugar.
2. Add eggs and vanilla.
3. Mix in separate large bowl: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt.
4. Alternate flour mixture and buttermilk with margarine and sugar mixture.
5. Chill overnight in fridge or 1 1/2 - 2 hours in freezer.
6. Roll out with a lot of flour. Dough is sticky even though it's is chilled.
7. Bake at 350-375℉ (I use 350℉). Take out before they brown (about 7 minutes at 350). When you touch them with your finger and they don't leave an indentation then they are done.

8. Frost when cool.
