This recipe is from another of my many chocolate books: Betty Crocker In Love With Chocolate. Is a little supermarket booklet. These cookies don't seem too hard to make and would be nice for a tea party. It seems like tea parties are definitely back in vogue.
Bonbon Cookies
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
Dates, nuts, semisweet chocolate chips and candied or maraschino cherries
Powdered Sugar Frosting
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix powdered sugar, butter, vanilla and chocolate. Work in flour and slat until dough holds together. (If dough is dry, mix in 1 to 2 tablespoons milk.) Mold dough by tablespoonfuls around date, nut, chocolate chips or cherry. Place cookies about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until set but not brown; cool. Dip tops of cookies into frosting. Decorate with coconut, nuts, colored sugar, chocolate chips or chocolate shot if desired. About 2 dozen cookies
Powdered Sugar Frosting
Mix 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoon milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Stir in few drops food color if desired. Or increase milk to 2 tablespoon and stir in 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled.
