Inspired by my little sister, I decided to make my own batch of sugar cookies. I found these adorable button cookies by Chasingtwilight via iDIY and was even more inspired! This has to be one of the most adorable ideas for a cookie that I have seen in quite awhile. Instead of Chasingtwilight’s recipe, I used my sis’s favorite sugar cookie recipe with my own small tweaks.
For instance, I added a tad more vanilla…
…which almost ended up being soy sauce! Oops. Need to be careful when you’re cooking in someone else’s kitchen! (I’m still at my mom’s house.) I also needed to add more flour to the recipe because my dough seemed too buttery. (This may have had something to do with my bad math skills. Double oops.)
I chilled the dough in the fridge, rolled it out, cut it, scored it, and skewered it. Ta-da! Buttons.
When my buttons came out of the oven, I re-skewered them while they were still cooling to ensure the holes were open. Just look at how sweet they look laced up with some curling ribbon!
And now for some button cookie paparazzi…
So what would Asher think? He lit up when he saw the cookies and screamed, “Mommy, you made me BUTTONS!”
Oh yes I did!

If these aren't the cutest things I've seen in forever!!!! Love what you did with plain ordinary sugar cookies. Did you just draw that circle within the "button" with a skewer or did you imprint with something? I cannot say how much I LUV this whole idea, Beth!'
hugs, Sue

Oh my gosh! How clever and adorable are those cookies! Thanks for sharing the idea!
Sheree 🙂
So cute Beth!
These are adorable.
These are far too cute! What a great idea!
Great, now I want some! You are not helping my diet 🙂
Those are so cute!! They look real and I love how you strung them on ribbon for your little guy to eat!
Oh my goodness Beth!! These are SO adorable. What a great cookie to put out at a scrapbooking crop! I just love them!! :)))
Adorable! Probably wouldn't have been quite so delicious with soy sauce 😉 I always add extra vanilla too 🙂
Ya know I was going to spend the afternoon baking that delicious looking watermelon-themed cake on the new cover of Woman's Day, but I think I'm going to push that back a day or two and make these adorable button cookies!
Beth, they are so adorable! At first glance I thought they were real buttons laying on the pillow! Oh, and you're little boy is absolutely adorable. He has some truly inspiring eyes. Thanks for the great idea!
Adorable! Beth you are one creative woman and I am thankful for you! Know you are being prayed for daily!
Hi Beth,
Your little boy is so cute and looks just like you!
The cookies are amazing, almost too cute to eat!
Have fun at your Mom's.
Cindy
Major cuteness!!!!!
Those are adorable! LOL about the soy sauce!
So cute! Thanks!
Well, this just takes the cake or should I say cookie!!!! These are beyond adorable! You are amazing!!
So so cute….your boy is adorable…he looks just like YOU!!~
Super cute, love a good sugar cookie!! Wonder if you could thread the button holes with those Twizzlers that pull apart (do you know what I mean), then you could eat the whole darn thing!!
I poured OJ on my cereal the other morning and I was in my OWN kitchen!!!! OJ and soy milk look nothing alike!! I'm losing it!!
These are so cute! Thank goodness you didn't use the soy sauce although now my mind is wandering to Ginger Soy Sesame cookies.. but I have no idea how that would come out! Have a great weekend!
Sooooooo cute! They'd be adorable for a baby shower.
Those look so cute and so yummy!!!
Beth~~
These are almost too cute to eat!! And your cutie looks like he is loving them. Thanks so much for the recipe and step by step!! 🙂
