Christmas Bon Bons step by step
- This is a two part recipe. The first six ingredients are for the cookies themselves. The remaining four make the holiday cookie sauce (frosting) that goes on the top..
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Beat softened butter in a mixing bowl until it is light and fluffy..
- Slowly add vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar until blended well..
- Slowly add flour until blended well..
- Use 1 heaping tbsp of this dough to wrap around a cherry and form into a ball. Place on an ungreased baking sheet..
- Repeat step six until all of the cherries are used. Bake at 350° approximately 12-15 minutes..
- Pull from oven and allow to cool. As the cookies are cooling down, you can make the holiday cookie sauce..
- In a small bowl, mix butter, vanilla, and egg white until well blended..
- Slowly add powdered sugar and blend well..
- Add food coloring if desired. (I usually make two batches of holiday cookie sauce in order to use multiple colors. But plain white looks nice too).
- Once the cookies are cooled down, dip the tops of the cookies into the sauce..
- Allow frosting to dry. Then transport the cookies to a covered container..
