    List of Ingredients




    1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
    1 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, divided
    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 Tablespoons fat free (skim) milk
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    24 maraschino cherries, drained with 2 teaspoons liquid reserved

    Recipe



    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, beat the
    butter and 3/4 cup confectioner' sugar until creamy. Stir in the
    flour, milk, vanilla, and salt; mix well.

    2. Shape into 24 balls. Press each ball around a cherry and place
    on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until
    light golden. Cool on a wire rack.

    3. Place 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar in a shallow dish and
    roll the bonbons until lightly coated.

    4. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup confectioners'
    sugar and the 2 teaspoons reserved cherry liquid; mix well. Place
    in a resealable plastic storage bag. Cut a small corner off the bag
    and drizzle the glaze over the bonbons.

    5. Allow the bonbons to cool until the glaze is firm, then serve,
    or store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
