I think you put a mixin together with the following syntax but I may be wrong:

@mixin button($background, $color) {
   background: $background;
   color: $color;
}

.box { @include button(#369, white); }

Try this.

thanks sam it worked

Good glad I could help.

It works perfectly fine without passing $background & $color in the parameters.

this worked for me:

@mixin button { background: #369; color: white; }
