For example, I have created a button with a check mark drawn on it. I need to use it in a couple places in my window. 

<Button Width="25">
    <!-- Draw a Green checkmark -->
    <Polyline Points="2,5,6,10,13,1" Stroke="Green" StrokeThickness="4" StrokeLineJoin="Round" StrokeStartLineCap="Round" StrokeEndLineCap="Round" />
</Button>

Since I only want to change the content, I’m not sure if Styles or Templates apply. Do I need to create a UserControl?

Edit: This can be accomplished with a style. But, I only want to change the content and I don’t want to override the current style.

    This is crying out for a style. Add the following Style to your Window.Resources:

    <style TargetType="Button" x:Key="tick">
    <Setter Property="ContentTemplate">
        <Setter.Value>
            <DataTemplate>
                <Polyline Points="2,5,6,10,13,1" Stroke="Green" StrokeThickness="4" StrokeLineJoin="Round" StrokeStartLineCap="Round" StrokeEndLineCap="Round" />
            </DataTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

    and you can then define your button as:

    <Button Width="25" Style="{StaticResource tick}" />
