Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies Servings – 24 Prep Time – 10 Minutes Cook Time – 10 Minutes Ingredients:
1 - 15.25oz package chocolate cake mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
Topping
1 - 10 ounce jar maraschino cherries
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Stir cake mix, oil, and eggs together in a large bowl until it comes together as a dough. Add in your mix-ins, mix to combine.
Form dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on un-greased baking sheets. Make an indentation with your thumb in the center of each cookie.
Drain cherries and reserve juice. Place a cherry in the indentation of each cookie ball.
Combine chocolate chips with condensed milk in a saucepan over low heat; stir until chocolate is melted. Stir in 4 teaspoons of cherry juice. Drizzle or spoon about 1 teaspoon of chocolate cherry mixture over each cherry to cover.
Bake in the preheated for 6-10 minutes depending on how soft you like your cookies. Cool on the baking sheets briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes:
Add more cherry juice to the melted chocolate mixture if needed to get a spreading consistency.
