Step-by-Step Instructions for Easter Bunny Button Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer.
  3. Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar mixture.
  4. Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, then mix just until a soft dough forms.
  5. Using a teaspoon, scoop small portions of dough and roll them into balls.
  6. Place the sugar-coated balls on the prepared baking sheet, then gently press a pastel candy-coated chocolate piece into the center.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
