1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup margarine (softened)
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
10-16 oz jar marachino cherries (about 48)
1 6-ounce package semisweet chocolate pieces
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In large bowl, stir together flour cocoa, salt, baking powder & baking soda. Separately, beat together butter & sugar until fluffy. Add egg & vanilla. Gradually add dry ingredients & beat until well blended. Shape dough into 1 inch balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Press down center of each ball with thumb.
Drain cherries and reserve the juice. Place 1-2 cherries in center of each cookie.
In small sauce pan, combine chocolate pieces and sweetened condensed milk. Heat until chocolate melts. Stir in 4 teaspoons of reserved cherry juice. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of frosting over each cherry to cover.
Bake 10-12 minutes & let cool completely.
**It seems a little counter-intuitive to fully assemble these before baking, but that is how it's done.
