Cream together 1 cup of room temperature butter and 2 cups of white granulated sugar until combined.

Add 2 room temperature eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing well.

Gradually add 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the mixture, mixing until combined.

Add about half of the 1 cup of buttermilk, mix, then add the remaining buttermilk and mix until combined.

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 1 to 24 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking mat, leaving space between each cookie.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until edges are lightly golden brown.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
