Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 Large eggs
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 cups Chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract (optional, for icing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat using a hand or stand mixer until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate using a spatula.

Step 7

Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 9

While the cookies are cooling, prepare the bon bon icing. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and almond extract (if using) until smooth and pourable. If needed, adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sugar or cream.

Step 10

Once the cookies have cooled, dip the tops into the icing or drizzle the icing over them using a spoon.

Step 11

Let the icing set for 15-20 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Nelson Cookie Bake Bon Bon Icing creation!
