In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Mix in the buttermilk until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
