For some reason when making these bonbon cookies, I decided to try and make them healthy.
Seriously, what was I thinking? Me and less sugar just don’t mix.
I have no idea what came over me but heres hoping it never happens again.

- After you have cooled bonbon cookies on wire rack that has been placed over a parchment lined baking sheet, pour half of the glaze mixture over the bonbons. Let sit at least 15 minutes, then pour remaining glaze.

These little treat are yummy. They really are.
It took a while for them to grow on me because they are not as sweet as I like, but they do have a really subtle, delicious sweetness that leaves you wanting more.
They dry hard so travel well… I can image these would be a delightful gift for a loved one.
I hope you try some!
Oh wow, these look so delicious & pretty too.

Quick question…would these freeze well? Is it better to freeze the cookie or the dough you think?
Thanks!
