EDITOR’S NOTE: I liked the cake-like quality of these cookies a lot. They screamed for a nice vanilla buttercream frosting. I used powered cocoa. They are very easy and fun to make. Be sure to use the buttermilk to get the best flavor.

Here are one of my all time favorite cookies!! They have a rich
chocolate flavor, bake cake-like, and can be left alone, sprinkled with
powdered sugar or decorated. Not to mention they are EASY!!! Please
