Description

These Button Cookies are adorable, buttery shortbread-style treats with a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Perfect for tea parties, holiday gifts, or a fun baking project with kids!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (for extra tenderness)

 

  • 1 tablespoon milk (if needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Set to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make the dough: In a large bowl, beat butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla extract.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Stir in flour, salt, and cornstarch until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add 1 tablespoon of milk.
  4. Roll and cut: Roll out the dough to ¼-inch thickness. Use a small round cutter (1-2 inches wide) to cut out circles.
  5. Make button holes: Use a straw or the tip of a piping nozzle to create 2-4 small holes in the center of each cookie.
  6. Bake: Place cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Cool & serve: Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy as is, or tie them together with thread for a cute “button” look!

Notes

  • Flavor variations: Add lemon zest, almond extract, or cinnamon for extra flavor.
  • Decorating tips: Dip in chocolate, dust with powdered sugar, or sandwich with jam for a fun twist.

 

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
