Butter Buds - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar (soft cookies) or 1 cup white sugar (crisper)
2 1/2 cups sifted flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 teaspoons baking powder
cherries or smarties candies

Preparation

Mix all ingredients (except cherries or smarties).
If using brown sugar, press with fork.
If using white sugar, roll into ball and place 1/2 cherry on each cookie.
Bake at 350F for about 10 minutes or until bottoms are golden.
Can easily be frozen.
(I have never counted how many cookies this makes; Next time I make them, I will come back and correct the servings.).
