BONBON COOKIES 
3/4 c. powdered sugar
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 tbsp. vanilla
Few drops food color, if desired
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/8 tsp. salt
Hershey kisses

(Can also make with miniature peanut buttercups, Rolo's, candied cherries).

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix powdered sugar, butter, vanilla and food color. Work in flour and salt until dough holds together. (If dough is dry, mix in 1 to 2 tablespoons milk.) For each cookie, shape dough by tablespoonful around Hershey kiss to form ball.

Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until set, but not brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool; dip tops of cookies into Glaze. Decorate with coconut, nuts, color sugar, chocolate chips or chocolate shot if desired.

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.
