Fair warning – no, these are not healthy. But sometimes we deserve a treat, and these will provide just that. Don’t be too hard on yourself and indulge with my Grandma’s buttermilk cookies! They are my go-to cookies, not super sweet (which I prefer) and taste like mini chocolate chip pancakes. Light, airy, and super chocolatey.
