Directions

1 Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, beat all bonbon ingredients except almond paste with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon, until dough forms.
2 Cut almond paste into 1/4-inch slices; cut each slice into fourths. Shape 1-inch ball of dough around each piece of almond paste. Gently roll to form ball. Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
3 Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set and bottom is golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
4 For vanilla frosting, in small bowl, stir all Vanilla Bonbon Frosting ingredients until smooth.
5 For chocolate frosting, in small bowl, stir all Chocolate Bonbon Frosting ingredients until smooth. If necessary, stir in additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until soft enough to spread.
6 Dip tops of cookies into frostings and sprinkle with decors as desired.

My Mom and I have been baking these since I was a little girl! We got the recipe from a 50's Betty Crocker cookbook that my Mom received at her wedding shower. I have a newer version of the cookbook and I was sad to see that this recipe is not in it! Thank goodness for this website! These are always a hit and one of the favorites when I pass around the cookie platter. Like many others, we always put maraschino cherries in them as well as color the cookie dough and frosting to add a little color to the cookie platter! Easy recipe and a sure hit for any occasion!

These are a long time family favorite and tradition. Instead of almond paste we put marachino cherries, choc chips, coconut, walnuts...Put 1,2 or 3 in the middle. A surprise in every 1!
