Welcome to the Biker Baker show; today we're making old-fashioned soft buttermilk sugar cookies.

Mix 2 cups of sugar, 2 eggs, and 1 cup of oil in a bowl.

Prepare 1 cup of buttermilk using 4 tablespoons of powdered buttermilk mixed with 1 cup of water; mix until smooth.

Combine the liquid mixture with the sugar, eggs, and oil mixture.

Sift together 4 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the liquid mixture, mixing until combined.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough.

Scoop the dough using two spoons or a cookie scoop and place on a baking sheet.

Sprinkle sugar on top of each cookie before baking.

Preheat the oven to 325°F and bake cookies for about 8 minutes, checking for doneness.

After baking, let the cookies cool for a minute before transferring them to a cooling rack.
