It's a simple colored dough wrapped around a candy or nut and topped with sprinkles. You can also cover them in icing. What should you put in them? How about...
Galaxy Cookies
from Betty Crocker
1/2 cup butter or
1/2 cup margarine, softened
3/4 cup
confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon
vanilla
food coloring
1 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
anything you want
to put in the middle
Icing
1 cup
confectioners' sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons
light cream or 1 1/2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon
vanilla
Directions
Mix thoroughly
butter, sugar, vanilla, and, if desired, a few drops of food coloring. (Or you
can wait to add the food coloring when the dough is finished in order to split
it into batches and make multiple colors instead of just one.)
Work in salt and
flour until dough holds together. If dough is dry, mix in 1 to 2 Tbsp light
cream.
Mold dough by
tablespoonfuls around date, nut, candy, cherry, or a few chocolate pieces. Roll
into balls. Here, you can choose to decorate with sprinkles, or wait until they're baked and top with icing.
Preheat over to
350°F. Place cookies about 1-inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake
12-15 minutes until set but not brown.
Prepare icing by
mixing confectioners sugar with light cream or milk and vanilla until smooth. If
desired, stir in a few drops of food coloring. For a tasty chocolate icing,
increase light cream to 3 tbsp and stir in 1 oz melted unsweetened chocolate.
Let cookies cool,
then dip tops of cookies into icing several times to get a good layer. If
desired, immediately decorate with coconut, nuts, colored sugar, candies,
chocolate pieces or chocolate shot.
Makes 20 to 25
cookies.
