   eggs and beat until well mixed (about 1 minute). Add the buttermilk
   mixture and blend. Sift together dry ingredients. Slowly add dry
   ingredients to wet mixture. Let mixture stand 15 minutes.
   
   Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Drop batter by heaping tablespoons onto
   oiled cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 9 minutes until the top springs back
   when touched with your finger. Do Not overbake. The cookies should be
   quite soft.
   
   While cookies are baking combine glaze ingredients. Remove cookies to
   wax paper lined wire rack. Frost while warm with 1/2 tsp of glaze for
   each cookie. Let cool completely. Transfer to trays and place in
   freezer to completely set if neccesary or to freeze for storage. Once
   frozen pack in tins in single layers seperated by wax paper. These
   freeze well.
