Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

COOKIE DOUGH
1/2 c plus 1 tablespoon softened butter
3/4 c powdered sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla
3 Tbsp hershey's cocoa powder
1 pinch salt
1 Tbsp milk or what is needed to make the dough dry but stick together.
1 1/2 c flour
1 jar(s) maraschino cherries without the stems
FROSTING
1 can(s) chocolate frosting, warmed

Steps:

  • 1. Dry maraschino cherries in a towel and let set out a while to dry well.
  • 2. Combine all other ingredients and mix well in mixer. (Add just enough milk to make the dough very dry but still stick together.)
  • 3. Pinch off a teaspoon of the cookie dough and roll into a ball and then flatten in your hands. Put a cherry in the middle of the cookie dough disk and close the dough around the cherry and form into a ball...sealing cherry inside completely. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes at 350 degrees on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • 4. Dip baked cookies in warm chocolate frosting and top with chopped nuts, colorful sprinkles or decorate with corresponding frosting swirls.
