Button Cookies!!

When serving  lunch for Old Fashioned Baby Sewing Ladies, Button Cookies were on the menu.

Perfect in their Button Jar!!

I found this idea on Pinterest.  And loved it.

This is what you do.... 

I made Shortbread, but you can make  Sugar Cookies if you want.

Cut them into round cookies, then use something a little smaller to make a slight indention. (I used the little cup that comes with cough medicine)



Sprinkle sugar on them and use a straw to make the holes in the buttons.
  I made both the two hole buttons you see here and 4 hole buttons.

Too Cute!

Put a couple in a little bag to give away to each guest.

Very cute, I showed the picture to my 15 year old daughter and she's planning to give them a try, we have winter break here for the next two weeks and she's planning lots of baking and she also wants me to teach her to smock.

Hi Jeannie:
I had seen this idea on Pinterest, but still haven't tried it! They're really adorable and a great idea for a gathering of fabric artists like you and your friends. Thanks for sharing the idea again.
