Vanilla Buttons

Ingredients

Butter - 6 oz
Semi-soft cream cheese - 3 oz
Sugar - 1 cup
Egg white - 1 piece
Vanillin - 1 teaspoon
Wheat Flour - 2¾ cups
Baking Powder - 1 teaspoon
Salt - ¼ teaspoon

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Beat the butter, cream cheese, and sugar until fluffy. Add the egg, then add the vanillin and beat until smooth.

Step 2

Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamy mixture. Knead the dough and divide it into 2 parts, adding different colored food coloring to each. Wrap each piece of dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 347°F. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a floured board. Cut out small balls using a button-shaped cutter (with 4 and 2 holes), pressing lightly to imprint the design.

Step 4

Place the buttons on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 15 minutes before baking. Bake in the oven for 8–10 minutes. Cool and serve with tea.
