👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Cream the butter and sugar:
In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and sugar with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.

2. Add wet ingredients:
Mix in the vanilla extract, almond extract, and egg until smooth and combined.

3. Add the flour:
Add the flour one cup at a time, mixing gently after each addition, until a soft dough forms.

4. Divide and color:
Split the dough into 4 equal parts.
Tint each with a different color — vermilion, chartreuse, pink, and black.

5. Roll and chill:
Roll out each colored dough section between parchment sheets to about ¼ inch thick.
Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.

6. Shape the “buttons”:
Cut circles using a cookie cutter. Press a smaller cutter in the center to make a ring indent, then use a straw to poke 4 holes for the button look.

7. Bake:
Arrange on parchment-lined sheets and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8–12 minutes, until set but not browned.

8. Cool:
Let the cookies cool completely before serving or storing.
