Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter, softened
- 1/3 cup shortening
- 1 large egg
- 1 (17.5-ounce) package chocolate chip cookie mix
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 42 assorted chocolate-covered cherries
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 4 teaspoons maraschino cherry juice
Preparation
Step 1
Beat butter and shortening in a large bowl at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy; add egg, beating until blended.
Combine cookie mix and cocoa; gradually add to butter mixture, beating well. Shape dough into 1" balls. Place balls 2" apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 375° for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool 2 minutes. Gently press 1 cherry candy in center of each cookie. Cool completely on baking sheets; transfer to wire racks.
Combine powdered sugar and liqueur in a small bowl, stirring until smooth. (Glaze should be thick, yet easy to drizzle.) Place glaze in a small zip-top plastic bag. Snip a tiny hole in 1 corner of bag. Drizzle glaze over cookies. Let stand until set.
