Chewy Sugar Cookies

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup softened butter
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 to 4 Tbsp buttermilk
Sprinkles or colored sugar, for decorating

• Preheat oven to 375.
• In a small bowl, stir together flou, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, crem butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in dry ingredients. Add enough of the buttermilk to moisten the dough and make it soft, not wet (typically 3 Tbsp).
• Roll rounded teaspoons of dough into balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. With a brush or fingers, moisten the top of each cookie with the remaining buttermilk and slightly flatten the top of each cookie (I used the bottom of a glass). Sprinkle with raw sugar or colored sprinkles.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until slightly golden. Let stand for 2 minutes before removing to cool on a rack.

I'm on a hunt for the best sugar cookie and this one is in first place so far for taste and consistentcy. Bummer is that they aren't rolled, so you can't make fun shapes! I frosted some as well and they were a hit.
