How To Make bonbon cookies

1
Heat oven to 350. Mix powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and food color. Work in flour and salt until dough holds together. (If dough is dry, mix in 1-2 tablespoons milk.)

For each cookie, shape dough by tablespoonful around date, nut, chocolate chips, or cherry to form ball. Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until set but not brown, 12-15 minutes. Cool; drop tops of cookies into Glaze. Decorate with coconut, nuts, colored sugar, chocolate chips, or chocolate shot, if desired.

For Glaze: Beat 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth and of desired consistency. Tint with few drops food color, if desired.
