Butter Button Cookies (Mini Sugar Cookies).
I love these little button butter cookies, they are mini sugar cookies. Recipe makes about 75 mini 1″ cookies. I was able to fit them all on 2 cookie sheets to bake them.
About 1″ in size. So teeny tiny.
I used a 1″ round cookie cutter made by Ateco (Amazon affiliate link) that came in a set ranging from 3/4″-3 5/8″ in size. I bought it on Amazon a long time ago but I see they still sell it and there are some other brands on there that may be cheaper if you search for circle cookie cutter sets.

This is also great as a cereal.
These were a hit at the big family gathering. Thank you!
Hi Tina, So glad the recipe was a hit for your family gathering. Thanks for taking the time to comment, we appreciate it!
What is the texture of these? I’m looking for a melt in your moth type cookie vs a crunchy cookie.
You could probably get more of the texture you are looking for by using powdered sugar instead of regular sugar.
