They are lemon-scented little shortbread cookies. And they’re made to look like little baby buttons. At least I hope they look like baby buttons. The dough is a very simple mix of butter, powdered sugar, cornstarch, flavoring, lemon zest and flour. It’s all mixed together in the food processor. Then you break it off into chunks and roll out little logs. The logs are sliced into little pieces…
…and then they are rolled into balls.
You can place all of the cookies on one cookie sheet since they do not spread out much. Roll the warm cookies in powdered sugar. Use a toothpick to poke 4 holes in each cookie (these are your buttonholes). And here they are! Congratulations to Josh and Maria! I know that adding another little pea to your pod is going to be the most wonderful experience ever. I’m looking forward to meeting your baby boy 🙂 Want to celebrate with us?
