Sugar Cookie Buttons.

I got inspiration from Bakerella to make button cookies! Hers are peanut butter, but since I was making them for a birthday and didn't know if anyone was allergic to peanut products, I made sugar cookie dough.

To make the button shape, I pressed the centers with a bottle cap and punched holes with a straw.

 They looked a little plain - especially for a child's birthday party, so I took it a step further. Bakerella dipped her cookies in chocolate. Since mine are sugar cookies, I thought that might be a bit too rich. So I made some runny blue icing and dipped the cookies in them

Voila! They tasted pretty good, too.

It's chow time!
