These are Craig's favorite cookie that we make at Christmas. They are like Cherry Cordials...
Cream:
1 C butter
2 C sugar
2 eggs
3 tsp. vanilla
Add slowly:
3 C Flour
1 C unsweetened cocoa
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
Drain:
2 - 10 oz. jars of Maraschino cherries, reserving juice
Shape very stiff dough into 1" balls. Use thumb to make space for cherry. Place cherry in center of each cookie.
SAUCE
Combine over low heat until melted:
6 oz. chocolate chips
1/2 C sweetened condensed mild
4 tsp. reserved cherry juice
Slowly swirl chocolate over cherry, just enough to cover the cherry.
Bake on un-greased cookie sheet at 350 F for 10 minutes.
