Everything a butter cookie should be and cute as a button. Before baking, four holes are made in these cookies so they look like big buttons. Unlike most other recipes this one uses brown sugar and a fancy edge made of turbinado sugar. They melt in your mouth. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar |
1 large egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 1/2 cups sifted flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup turbinado sugar (unrefined) or 1/2 cup granulated sugar |
Directions:
1. Cream butter and brown sugar with electric mixer equipped with paddle attachment, if you have one.
2. Beat on high speed until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
3. Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
4. Add flour and salt and mix on low speed until incorporated.
5. Roll dough into three 1 1/2 logs, wrap in plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
6. Preheat oven to 350° and line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
7. Roll logs in turbinado or granulated sugar, making sure to coat them evenly.
8. Slice logs into 1/4 thick cookies and place on cookie sheet 1 apart.
9. Use a skewer or toothpick to make four decorative holes in each cookie, making the cookie appear to be a button.
10. Bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
11. Cool on wire rack.
