1. In bowl, stir together flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder and baking

Place 1 cherry in center of each indentation. Heat oven to 350 degrees.

3. For frosting, put chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in small
saucepan. Heat until chocolate melts. Stir in 4 teaspoons cherry juice. If
too thick, add more juice.

4. Spoon 1 teaspoon frosting over each cherry. Spread to cover cherry. Bake
10 minutes or until done. Do not overcook. Remove to wire rack and cool.
The cookies freeze nicely.
