Submitted by: Judy Cunningham
Location: Charleroi, Pennsylvania
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar

|
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
24 maraschino cherries
1 pkg (6oz) chocolate chips
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
4 tsp maraschino cherry juice
|
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar, add egg and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients, combining well.
Shape dough into 1 inch balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Press down center of each ball with
your thumb and place half a cherry in each center. In a small saucepan over medium heat combine chocolate
chips and condensed milk, stirring frequently until chocolate has melted. Stir in cherry juice. Spoon
1 tsp chocolate frosting over each cherry, covering cherry completely. If frosting seems too thick, add
more cherry juice or rewarm frosting. Bake 10 minutes. Remove to rack to cook.
Yields 4 dozen.
