Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 30 pieces mini chocolate kisses or candy pieces
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
• 0 as needed food coloring (optional)
• 0 as needed decorative sprinkles

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Mix in the vanilla extract and almond extract, then stir in the milk.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to form a soft dough.

Step 5

Take about 1 tablespoon of dough and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place a mini chocolate kiss or candy piece in the center, then wrap the dough around it and roll it into a smooth ball.

Step 6

Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just set and the cookies are lightly golden on the bottom. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

While the cookies cool, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Add food coloring if desired.

Step 9

Dip the top of each cooled cookie into the glaze, allowing excess to drip off. Place the cookies back on the wire rack and immediately decorate with sprinkles if using.

Step 10

Let the glaze set for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade Bonbon Cookies!
