Melt Away Button Cookies

These are from my friend Sierra.  They are really good.

I love these cookies.  They are so cute for Birthday parties, baby shower, any holiday, etc..  By adding a little food coloring, you can make them match whatever you are celebrating.  By adding different extracts or flavorings, you can change the flavor for variety.  Almond, Lemon, French vanilla.  The best part is they are delicious and literally met in your mouth
