A different take on Thumbprint cookies. This is a recipe from my childhood, and is a wonderful adornment to any Christmas tray. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour |
1/2 cup cocoa |
1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 cup butter |
1 cup sugar |
1 egg |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla |
48 maraschino cherries (reserve some cherry juice) |
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (eagle brand or other) |
Directions:
1. Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla. Beat well. Add dry ingredients until combined. Shape into 48 - 1 inch balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and make thumbprint in center of each cookie. Place a maraschino cherry into each indentation.
2. Melt chocolate chips and condensed milk just until soft. Stir in 4 tsp cherry juice and spoon about 1 tsp of frosting on top to cover cherry. Add more cherry juice if frosting needs to be thinned. Bake at 350F for 8-10 minutes.
