Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1/2 cups Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 cups Butter, Softened
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 whole Egg
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 jar Maraschino Cherries (10 Oz. Jar)
- 1 ounce, weight Semisweet Chocolate Chips
- 1/2 cups Sweetened, Condensed Milk
Method
- Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl, set aside. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar on low speed until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, beat until well blended.
- Gradually add in the flour mixture and blend well until smooth.
- Shape into 1-inch balls by rolling a small amount of dough between the palms of your hands. Place on un-greased cookie sheets. Using your thumb, press down on the center of each ball, making an indentation.
- Drain cherries, reserving the juice. Place a cherry in the center of each cookie.
- For the frosting, in a small saucepan, combine chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Heat over low heat until chocolate is melted. Add 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon reserved cherry juice and stir.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon frosting over each cherry, spreading to cover the cherry. If frosting gets too thick, add a little more cherry juice.
- Bake in the oven at 350° for 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
- Makes 48 cookies.
