Chocolate Silk Bon Bons
From the kitchen of Melody Trickey
Ingredients
1 cup Crisco shortening
3/4 cup unsifted confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Brach's milk chocolate stars
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream Crisco and sugar. Blend in vanilla. Add flour and salt.
Mix until well blended. (It will look somewhat dry)
Flatten out small piece of dough (approximately 1 teaspoon)
Keep water in small bowl for dipping fingers so dough does not stick to hands.
Place one Brach's milk chocolate star in the center of flattened dough.
Fold dough over star and seal, making sure that star is covered completely.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
Sprinkle with colored sugar for the holidays if desired.
Bake for 10 minutes ONLY. DO NOT OVERBAKE.
Really good cookie. My family absolutely loves these. Bet you can't eat just one!!!
