Ingredients
- 10 ounce jar maraschino cherries
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Take the cherries out of the maraschino jar and put them on paper towels to drain. Pat the tops of the cherries with a paper towel. Save the cherry juice in the jar to use later in the recipe.
- Put the butter in the bowl of a mixer and beat it for 30 seconds until it is soft. Then add the sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda and beat until well combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla and mix it again until the batter is smooth.
- Add the cocoa powder and flour to the mixing bowl and mix until combined.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Use a cookie scoop to make 1 inch balls. Press down in the center of each ball with your thumb or a round spoon and put a cherry in the center of each cookie. Don't bake them yet though!
- Combine the semi sweet chocolate and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan. Heat it, stirring, until the chocolate is melted.
- Take the saucepan off the heat and stir in 4 teaspoons of the reserved cherry juice..
- Use a spoon to place about 1 teaspoon of the frosting on each cherry. Spread it around to completely cover the cherry.
- Bake the cookies for 10 minutes until they are brown on the bottom.
