In a small bowl combine buttermilk and baking soda and

oil, sugar,molasses and 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.
