BON BON COOKIES
From Betty Crocker's Cookie Book (1984). I love to make these at Christmas time, coloring some red and some green. I like to put chocolate chips in mine because I really don't like cherries too much.

CHERRY BONBON COOKIES
These cookies have become a Christmas tradition in our family. They are easy to make ahead and freeze--just let them thaw THEN roll them in the powdered sugar. The cookies look like a typical tea cookie but there is always a surprise when you bite into it and discover the yummy cherry center. You will want to make a double batch.
