Almond Bonbon Cookies image

These bonbons remind me of England, with a touch of America. Dip cooled cookies into one frosting or each side into different frostings. Have fun adding any kind of sprinkle toppings you like. - Teri Rasey, Cadillac, Michigan

I love that these cookies can be made ahead of time. I often make a batch on the weekend and then store them in the freezer. They're always a hit when I have company over.
