When Rissy calls on a Saturday asking to bake, we make a decision together whether to try something new or use a tried-and-true recipe. I had seen something similar to these cookies online and thought they were cute and simple. Instead of the pastel originals (I believe they were intended for a baby shower), we chose a brownie cookie. Rolling the dough and cutting out circles was uncomplicated, but easier still, and even fun, was creating the button 'holes'. We used a plastic straw to punch them out, and of course, the straw filled up with minuscule dots of dough which we either blew out the end (as a sort of ammunition - the dog loved it) or squeezed out for tasting. A drinking glass just a bit smaller than the cookie cutter formed a nice rim. Kitchen laughter and tasty treats equaled a delightful afternoon.
