Bon Bon Cookies image

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.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still really good. I would recommend using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate chip cookies, but these are really good. They're soft and chewy, with just the right amount of sweetness.

These cookies were a disaster! They spread out too much in the oven and ended up being flat and crispy. I don't recommend this recipe.

I thought these cookies were just okay. They're not bad, but they're not great either. I probably won't make them again.
