Yield 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 (10-ounce) jar maraschino cherry
------------------------------
FROSTING:
1 (6-ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips (not milk chocolate)
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon maraschino cherry juice

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add remaining ingredients, except cherries, and blend at low speed until a stiff dough forms, about 1 minute. Shape dough into 1-inch balls, using a heaping teaspoon of dough for each. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Push one whole cherry halfway into each ball. When all cookies are molded and cherries are pushed in, prepare frosting and use immediately. Frosting: In small, heavy saucepan, melt chocolate and condensed milk over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add remaining ingredients and stir until smooth. Frost each cherry by spreading 1/2 teaspoon of frosting over each cookie. Bake frosted cookies for 8-10 minutes at 350° until puffy. Store tightly covered.
