Do not ask me why these cookies are called 'Bachelor Buttons' because I don't have the answer. Who knows...perhaps these helped a young lady win the heart of a bachelor! I haven't made them yet, but like the list of ingredients. My friend makes these every year for her Christmas cookie tray. Perhaps I will too!

Time 17m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup butter (salted or unsalted, your choice, at room temperature)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup powdered sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup fruit preserves (flavors of your choice)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and place a rack in the center.
  • Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or in a large mixing bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter, salt, and powdered' sugar on medium speed until creamy.
  • Reduce the mixer speed slightly and beat in the egg and vanilla.
  • By hand or using the lowest speed of the mixer, stir in the flour.
  • Shape the dough into ¾-inch balls and arrange 2 ½ inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Use your finger to make an indentation in the center of each dough ball, then fill with preserves.
  • Bake 1 sheet at a time for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges. Let cool on the baking sheets for about 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cookies spread evenly and bake more consistently.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the cookies, making them lighter and chewier.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cookies bake evenly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.
