brown sugar buttons

Every year around this time, I pick up the Simply Homemade booklet which is a free circulation put out by Robin Hood Flour. It's where I originally found my very popular Shortbread Meltaways made with Skor toffee bits. In this years issue, I immediately spotted the very similar, but different, Brown Sugar Buttons.

They are very simple, but also very good. Here's the recipe:

brown sugar buttons

1 cup softened butter

1 cup brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla

2 cups white all purpose flour

1/2 cup cornstarch

icing sugar for decoration

preheat oven to 350 degrees

line cookie sheets with parchment paper

beat butter, brown sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy

add flour and cornstarch and mix until dough forms

roll into 3/4" (2cm) balls, place on cookie sheets and flatten slightly

bake in preheated oven 10 minutes

remove, place on wire rack, and with a skewer poke 4 holes in each cookie

cool and dust with icing sugar

Happy Thanksgiving!
