    Source of Recipe


    Aunt Saunny

    1 roll (18 oz) refrigerated sugar cookies
    1/2 c. maraschino cherries, well drained on paper towels; chopped
    1/3 c. sugar

    Icing:

    1/2 c. semisweet chocolate chips
    1 tablespoon shortening

    Heat oven to 350. In large bowl, break up cookie dough. Stir on
    knead in cherries. Cover; freeze dough 30 minutes for easier
    handling.

    Shape dough into balls, using 1 teaspoon dough for each, roll in
    sugar; place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

    Bake 9 to 12 minutes or until well set and edges are light and golden
    brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets and place on wire
    racks. Cool completely, about 10 minutes.

    In small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and shortening
    on high 2 minute, stirring once halfway through microwaving, until
    melted. If necessary continue to microwave on high in 15 second
    intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle icing over cooled cookies.


    5 dozen cookies
