Holiday cookie recipe
« on: December 10, 2012, 07:53:35 PM »
Sorta like those cheep holiday chocolate covered cherries (that I DON'T like) but EVER so much better--and stupid simple to make. Especially so since my wife made 'em!  :santa

"Chocolate Cherry Cordials"

Makes 30

Cookies:

1/2 c. butter, softened
1 c. sugar
1 egg
1 tsp rum extract
1 1/2 c. flour
1/3 c. cocoa powder (we used "dark")
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
30 maraschino cherries, drained and
      patted dry w/ paper towels
2 Tbsp sugar, for coating

Glaze:

1 c. confectioner's sugar
1 tsp rum extract
4 tsp maraschino cherry juice

1. Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar,
egg, and rum extract until light and fluffy. Add flour, cocoa,
salt, baking powder and soda. Beat well.

2. Flatten about 1 Tbsp dough. Place a cherry on top;
mold dough around it. Roll in sugar. Repeat with remaining
dough.

3. Place cookies 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake 8 minutes. Cool on a rack.

4. For glaze, whisk ingredients; spoon over cookies.
(Katie had to thin it down some. A little thick, she thought.)

That sounds down right scrumptious!
I'm going to print this one and pass it on to SWMBO.
Have to file this one in the big book of "Sweet Thangs".
