Ingredients

200g Salted Butter
100g Fairtrade Caster Sugar (plus a little extra for dusting!)
300g Plain Flour
A Few Chocolate Couverture Buttons

Directions

Preheat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5.
Beat the butter and the sugar together until smooth.
Stir in the flour to get a smooth dough. Turn on to a work surface and gently roll out until the dough is 1cm/½in thick.
Cut out flower shapes using your flower cutter and gently place onto a baking tray.
Bake in the oven for 8 –10 minutes, or until pale golden-brown. Set aside to cool on a wire rack. Whilst the shortbread are still hot, sprinkle with caster sugar.
Leave the shortbread to cool for around 2-5 minutes and then place a milk chocolate button in the centre of each one – no need to press them in, the heat from the shortbread will gently melt the bottom of the button so it sticks.
Leave to cool completely and enjoy!
