Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies II Recipe

Recipe by: JAMIE CARPENTER

"These taste as good as they sound!"

Directions

1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
2Beat the butter and sugar together in a bowl. Add egg and vanilla and beat well. Add the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder and stir until smooth. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls about the size of a walnut (larger if desired). Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Press center of each ball with thumb.
3Drain cherries and reserve juice. Place a cherry in indentation of each cookie ball.
4In a saucepan, heat condensed milk and chocolate chips until chips are melted. Stir in 4 teaspoons of cherry juice. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of mixture over each cherry and spread to cover cherry. (More cherry juice may be added to keep frosting of spreading consistency.)
5Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
