Chocolate Covered Cherries
Delicious cake like cookie with cherries
covered in a fudge frosting.
|
This recipe we believe originated in a local
cooking competition in which the winners recipes were published in the
newspaper. An old clipping states that Mrs. Wiley submitted this
recipe which she had found on a bag of flour. Regardless, the origin,
these are always a part of Christmas. We always double or triple the
recipe. |

Dough (May be refrigerated until ready to use)
- Make dough first.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, sugar, egg
and vanilla until light and fluffy.
- Add remaining ingredients and mix together for
about a minute. Dough will be stiff
- Shape dough into one inch balls using a heaping
teaspoon of dough for each.
- Place 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet
- Push one maraschino cherry halfway into each ball.
- When all the cookies are molded, prepare frosting.
Frosting (use immediately)
- Melt chocolate pieces and condensed milk in heavy
saucepan over low heat.
- Add salt and juice.
- Stir until smooth
- Frost each cherry by spreading one-half teaspoon
frosting over each.
