Ingredients

1/2 cup butter

1 egg

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup white sugar

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1 (10 ounce) jar maraschino cherries

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Beat butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla and beat well. Add dry ingredients and stir until smooth.
Roll into 1-inch balls about the size of a walnut (larger if desired). Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
Drain cherries and reserve juice. Press center of each ball with thumb. Place a cherry in indentation.
In a saucepan, heat condensed milk and chocolate chips until chips are melted. Stir in 4 teaspoons of cherry juice. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of mixture over each cherry and spread to cover cherry. (More cherry juice may be added to keep frosting of spreading consistency.)
Bake for 10 minutes.
