Cheerful, buttery cookies decorated with pastel buttons, perfect for Easter celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Assorted pastel-colored buttons or candy-coated chocolates for decoration
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  7. Press five buttons onto the top of each dough ball in a simple cluster or bunny face pattern.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.

Notes

Chill dough for easier handling if it becomes too soft. Great for baking with kids.
