    Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 cup butter or margarine
    1 cup sugar
    1 egg
    1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup baking cocoa
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon baking soda
    48 maraschino cherries -- blotted dry
    1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
    1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
    1 teaspoon maraschino cherry juice -- (1 to 3)

    Recipe



    In a mixing 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 inch round, and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Push one cherry halfway into each ball.

    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 (the frosting will spread over cookie during baking). Bake at 350º degrees for 10-12 minutes.

    Cool on wire racks.
