  • 2. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Press down center of dough with thumb.
  • 3. Drain maraschino cherries well, reserving juice. Place a cherry in the center of each cookie
  • 4. In small saucepan combine chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk; heat until chocolate is melted. Melt slowly and be careful not to over heat. Stir in 3 teaspoons of the reserved cherry juice. Beat until smooth.
