Put that jar of maraschino cherries to good use.
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
1/4 cup cocoa powder
maraschino cherries, for filling
icing sugar, for dusting
Instructions
STIR flour with baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips and 1/4 cup cocoa powder to flour mixture. Set aside.
BEAT butter with sugar in a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium-high, until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour mixture, just until combined. Gather into a ball.
POSITION racks in top and bottom thirds of oven. Preheat to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
ROLL into 1-in.-round balls and set on baking sheet. Make a deep indent in the centre of each ball. Press a maraschino cherry onto each cookie. Bake in centre of oven until golden, 11 to 12 min. Let cookies cool on sheet for 1 min. Transfer to a rack to cool completely. Sift icing sugar over cookies.
