Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tbsp Corn Flour
- 3/4 cup Sugar also known as icing sugar, powdered
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter softened to room temperature, unsalted
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 tsp Gel Food Coloring your choice of color. gel food coloring provides more vibrant hues.
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients

Chill the Dough
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will make the dough easier to roll and prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
Shape and Decorate
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a button-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the cookies. Use a smaller cutter to create a small indentation in the center of each cookie. Use a toothpick to poke small holes around the indentation to mimic button holes.
Bake the Cookies
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
