Ingredients

Instructions

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until creamy.
  • Add corn syrup and buttermilk. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Add 1/3 of the flour combination and mix until thoroughly combined. Repeat 2 more times until all of the flour has been incorporated.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerator for at least 6 hours and up to 3 days.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or spray with non stick spray.
  • Divide dough in half and work with one half at a time, leaving the other half in the refrigerator.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough until about ½” thick, sprinkling flour on top as needed.
  • Dip cookie cutters in flour. Cut out shapes and place on prepared cookie sheets. Repeat until all the dough has been used.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Leave the cookies to set on the cookie sheets for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from cookie sheets.

Notes

The larger cookies will take a few minutes longer to bake.
Depending how long you have it refrigerated, you make have to give it a few minutes to soften enough for you to be able to roll it out. If it is more than 3 days, freeze the dough until ready to use.
