How to Make Bonbon Cookies

  1. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Optionally, wrap each ball around a nut (e.g., pecan, walnut), raisin, piece of dried fruit, or M&M.
  5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
  6. Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet.
  7. While cookies are cooling, prepare the candy coating: Mix 1/2 cup granulated sugar with a few drops of milk and your choice of food coloring until a paste forms.
  8. Once slightly cooled, dip half of each cookie into the colored sugar paste.
  9. Immediately dip the sugared half into flaked coconut.
  10. Let the cookies cool completely before serving. Yield: approximately 30 cookies.
