How to Make Bachelor Buttons Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and position a rack in the center.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a handheld mixer in a large bowl), cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 cups powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Reduce mixer speed slightly and beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Gently press an indentation into the center of each ball using your finger. Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of your favorite preserves (e.g., apricot, raspberry).
- Bake one sheet at a time for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let cool on the baking sheets for about 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
