CHOCOLATE FROSTING:
1 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
2-4 tsps. Maraschino cherry juice from the jar
INSTRUCTIONS:
In a stand mixer cream together the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy.
Next beat in the egg and the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl combine your dry ingredients.
Gradually add your dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix thoroughly.
Shape the dough into 1 inch round balls.
Place them on the cookie sheet.
Use your thumb to make a well in the center of the ball.
Place one cherry on each cookie in the well you make.
Bake the cookies for 10 minutes.
While the cookies are baking make your frosting by melting your chocolate chips and your condensed milk together. I use the microwave and check every 15 or 20 seconds by stirring to make sure the chocolate doesn’t burn.
Next add your cherry juice to the chocolate mixture. Stir until smooth.
As soon as your cookies come out
