Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup(s) softened butter
1 cup(s) white sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon(s) almond extract
1 1/2 cup(s) all purpose flour
1/3 cup(s) cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1/4 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
30 - maracino cherries well drained
1/4 cup(s) white sugar to roll cookie dough in

Steps:

  • Cream butter & sugar, add egg & almond extract.
  • Sift dry ingredients together, then add to butter mixture. Mix by hand.
  • Take about 1 tablespoon of dough, flatten it in your hand, place a cherry in the center, wrap dough around it, roll in sugar, then place on parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Bake 8- 10 min in 350 oven.
  • When cookies are completely cool, I like to drizzle a glaze of frosting over them. I use powdered sugar & juice from the maraschino cherries,& almond extract, but use whatever you like- be creative, or just leave plain. When the cookies come out of the oven you can immediately stick a cherry stem on the top to decorate, which is cute!
