I am a mother of two wonderful boys! And as they say "feeding a child is a whole problem", but with these cookies it is very easy to feed the kids.

How to cook Cookie Buttons

Step 1

Separate the yolks from the whites and sprinkle with sugar. Grind well with a tablespoon.

Step 2

Chop the butter into small pieces into an egg-sugar mass (in no case do not melt). Mix all ingredients thoroughly.

Step 3

Sift the flour through a sieve and add vanilla, knead the dough.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 2 parts, add cocoa to one. Mix well and send our koloboks to the refrigerator for half an hour.

Step 5

We roll out the cake with a thickness of 0.5 cm and squeeze out small circles with the help of a pile. Dip the stack periodically in flour so that the dough does not stick to the walls. With the help of a cap from a plastic bottle, we squeeze out a recess in each circle, but not completely. We make four holes in the center with a cocktail tube.

Step 6

We place our “buttons” on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and send to bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. The temperature of the heated oven should be 180°C.

Cookie Buttons - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use margarine instead of butter?

While butter provides the best flavor and texture, you can substitute with margarine. Use a high-quality margarine with at least 70% fat for the best results.

How should I store the cookie buttons and how long will they last?

Store the completely cooled cookie buttons in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to a week.

Can I freeze the dough before baking?

Yes! You can freeze the dough balls before baking for up to 2 months. Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before rolling out and proceeding with the recipe.

What can I use instead of vanilla extract?

You can substitute vanilla extract with other flavorings like almond extract, lemon zest, or orange zest for a different flavor profile. Use the same amount as the vanilla extract.

How can I make these cookies gluten-free?

Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend designed specifically for baking. Be sure to choose a blend that contains xanthan gum or add 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum per cup of gluten-free flour to help bind the dough.

My cookie dough is too dry/crumbly. What should I do?

Add a teaspoon of milk or water at a time until the dough comes together. Avoid adding too much liquid.

Can I use different colors or flavors besides cocoa?

Absolutely! You can use food coloring to tint the dough different colors. For flavors, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or other spices, or even a drop or two of food-grade essential oils like peppermint or orange.
