Tiffany & Co. Bonbon Cookies

I've been sick for the past 2 weeks, so it's been very hard for me to bake. But I did yesterday :D and I made these! They are really good, and they're really simple to make. I got the recipe from my favorite cook book, CakeSpy Presents; Sweet Treats for A Sugar-Filled Life.  Seriously best book ever. Everything in there can give you a cavity it's amazing. Okay so what you will need:
1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter
3/4 cup of confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon of salt
2 to 3 tablespoons of milk (I added 4)
food coloring to make them blueish
For the filling you can use chocolate, nuts, m&ms. I used leftover Christmas candy!


The icing you will need:
1 cup of confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoon of milk (I added like 4 tablespoons)
food coloring

Heat the oven 350 degrees. With an electric beater, mix together the butter, confectioners' sugar and vanilla. When you are done they should be fluffy. Then slowly add the flour and salt, mix them in. Add the milk to help the dough form a ball.  The coloring of the cookies should be a nice blue coloring because we're trying to get that nice Tiffany & Co. blue box. So I used 4 drops of blue and one drop of green.

Then use a largeish spoon and scoop out some dough, then put whatever you are putting in the middle of the cookie inside of it and close up the cookie by pinching the tops to cover it. Do that till all of the cookie dough is gone. Then place them on a cookie sheet and put them in the oven. Cook them for 12 to 15 minutes.

While they're cooking make the icing, which is really simple. In a small bowl (use one that you use for cereal, doesn't have to be special) and put in a cup of confectioners' sugar and 2 or 3 tablespoons of milk. Mix it and then add 1 drop of yellow food coloring, 3 drops of blue and one of green.

When the cookies are done let them cool. Then turn the cookies upside down and dip them into the icing. Once the icing is sorta hard you can put any type of sprinkles on them!

When I was making these all I could think about was Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's.
