Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies
These cookies are really rich, you don't need many to really get a good taste and the flavor is wonderful! They are much like those chocolate covered cherries you can find during the holidays only in cookie form! Enjoy and Share! :)
Ingredients
1/2 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. baking cocoa
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
maraschino cherries, blotted dry (enough for each cookie)
FROSTING:
1 c. semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 c. sweetened condensed milk
1 to 3 tsp maraschino cherry juice
Directions
In a bowl, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy; beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the dry ingredients; gradually add to creamed mixture (batter will be very firm). Shape into 48 balls, about 1 in. round, and place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. Push one cherry halfway into each ball, immediately after removing from the oven.
For frosting, melt chocolate chips in milk in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; add cherry juice and stir until smooth. Spoon 1 teaspoon of frosting over each cherry to cover completely (this also helps keep the cherry on the cookie!
Cool on wire racks.
