Does anyone have a recipe for these cookies?

[karebear1]

I had a wonderful chocolate cookie a few years ago that was delicious- but have never been able to find a recipe for it. It was all chocolate (a nice chewy cookie, I think you roll them into balls before you bake them) with a marachino cherrie on top and then chocolate frosting drizzled on top of that.

Has anyone here ever had them- and if so- do you have the recipe???

THANKS EVERYONE!

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup margarine -- softened
1 cup sugar

Drain cherries, reserving liquid. Place a cherry in center of each cookie.
In a small saucepan combine chocolate pieces and sweetened condensed milk. Heat until chocolate is melted. Stir in 4 teaspoons reserved cherry juice.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon frosting over each cherry, spreading to cover cherry. (Frosting may be thinned with more cherry juice).
Bake 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove to wire rack. Cool.


NOTES : I only use a half cherry in each cookie.

i used frozen bing cherries and used the thawed juice in place of the marichino cherry juice. i hope this is what you are looking for.

that is a great recipe. I got it from my cousin, Lynn over 35 year ago. It is the one recipe my son requests every year.

(I'm the one that uses the half cherry ;) )
