These cookies are good. The boy did not like them, but he apparently doesn't like cooked fruit - I know, I thought that was weird, too. If you like chocolate covered cherries, you will like these cookies. Mine didn't turn out very pretty, but they taste good, and that is all that matters. It is definitely one of those things that look like they were complicated to make, but they are super easy! Even for me!
Ingredients:
1 10 oz jar maraschino cherries
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 c. sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. cocoa
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 c. sweetened condensed milk
Directions:
Drain the cherries, reserving 3 tbsp. juice. Cut cherries in half and set aside.
Beat butter and sugar together until creamy. Add the egg, vanilla and 2 tbsp of cherry juice. Beat until well blended.
Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Gradually add to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.
Shape dough into 1 inch balls and place on parchment lined baking sheets. (The dough was very sticky for me. When I make these again, I will chill the dough for a bit before rolling into balls.) Press your thumb in the middle of each ball and place a cherry half in each indentation.
Combine chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a small saucepan and cook over low heat until chips are melted and the mixture is blended. Stir in remaining 1 tbsp of cherry juice. Spoon 1 tsp. of the mixture over each cherry half.
Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.
Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
