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've tried other almond bonbon cookie recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are soft and chewy, and the chocolate coating is perfectly smooth and rich.
