Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Christmas

Equipment

  • Shot glass shaped like the one in the button cookie video
  • Wax paper
  • Parchment paper
  • Baker’s twine or thin ribbon
  • Rolling Pin
  • Baking sheet

Ingredients

  • 1 tube Refrigerated sugar cookie dough (or homemade sugar cookie dough, if preferred)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉
  • Prepare your work surface with wax paper
  • Roll out sugar cookie dough
  • Use the shot glass as a cookie-cutter
  • Place the round cookie dough cutouts on a baking sheet prepared with parchment paper
  • Bake for 6 minutes or JUST until the edges of the cookies become golden. Sugar cookie dough burns easily and it will continue to cook as the cookies cool on the baking sheet
  • Immediately after removing them from the oven, use the bottom of the shot glass to gently press the center of the cookies in.
  • Use the straw to poke 2 round holes in each cookie
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet
  • Once cooled, tie them together with baker’s twine
