King Arthur Chocolate Bon-Bon Drops image

Got this in an email from King Arthur Flour and plan to make them for my Holiday tray. Described as tender, deep-chocolate cookies with a rich, sweet vanilla glaze. Bite-sized beauties perfect for a holiday cookie tray or hostess gift. Top with a chocolate pearl, bright red cherry, or chocolate sprinkles and each cookie is a jewel to the eyes and a gem for the tastebuds." Sounds good doesn't it!

Time 27m

Yield 24 cookies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 tablespoons butter, softened
1/4 cup dutch process cocoa
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place all cookie dough ingredients in bowl of your mixer.
  • Beat on medium speed until a soft, smooth dough is formed.
  • Remove from bowl, shape into a 3/4" thick disc.
  • Wrap well in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes, or as long as overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350, line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Shape dough into small balls, about the size of a large gumball (a teaspoon cookie scoop will help).
  • Bake for 7-10 minutes.
  • Watch cookies carefully to avoid scorching bottoms.
  • Remove cookies from oven and allow to cool slightly on pans while you prepare glaze.
  • For glaze, blend the sifted confectioners sugar with heavy cream and vanilla.
  • Glaze will be thick, almost icing consistency.
  • Using a teaspoon, portion glaze over barely warm cookies.
  • You can pipe the glaze from a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner cut off as well.
  • Top with chocolate pearls, slivers of maraschino cherry, or chocolate sprinkles. Store any leftovers at room temperature for up to a week.

I'm not a huge fan of toffee, but I really enjoyed these bon bons. The chocolate and toffee flavors complement each other perfectly.
