How to Make Nelson Cookie Bake Green Bon Bon Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Add 2-4 drops of green food coloring; mix until desired color is achieved.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. If the dough is too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of light cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
  7. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough around a Hershey's Kiss, ensuring the chocolate is fully covered.
  8. Place cookies about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets before proceeding.
  11. Once cooled, dip the tops of the cookies into your favorite green or white icing.
