These are really good, a great cookie with a cherry center and drizzled with melted chocolate...can it get any better? I suggest using Mercken's melting chocolate for the drizzle, you can usually purchase this at cake decorating stores. MIchael's, Hobby Lobby and Pat Catan craft stores also carry brands of melting chocolate. Ingredients:
1 cup butter |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup powdered sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 3/4 cups flour |
1 cup finely chopped walnuts |
24 maraschino cherries |
1/4 lb melting chocolate |
Directions:
1. Mix ingredients together to form dough and chill for one hour. Roll in 3/4 inch balls and bake for 5 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet at 350*. Remove from oven and indent the center with your finger or the handle of a wooden spoon. Bake an additional 10 minutes.
2. Cool and place 1/2 of a maraschino cherry in the center. Drizzle with melted chocolate.
3. Variation: I sometimes add a dollop of chocolate or vanilla buttercream frosting under the cherry - it makes them super yummy!
4. Prep time includes chill time.
