Time 2h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup butter, softened
¾ cup white sugar
¾ cup corn syrup
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (11 ounce) package white chocolate chips
1 (1.4 ounce) bar chocolate covered English toffee, chopped
1 (4 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, halved

Steps:

  • Beat butter and 1/2 cup sugar in large bowl until well blended; stir in corn syrup, egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa and baking soda; gradually add this dry mixture to butter mixture. Blend well. Cover and refrigerate dough for 1 hour or until firm enough to handle.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a small bowl, combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Shape dough into 1 inch balls; roll each ball in sugar mixture and arrange on a cookie sheet. Using your thumb, make an indentation in center of each cookie.
  • Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 7 to 8 minutes or until just set.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven. If the indentation has grown indistinct, use the top of a spoon and press indentation in further. Immediately place 1 teaspoon white chips into each indentation. After several minutes, swirl the melted chips with a spoon. Top with toffee bits and maraschino cherry halves (if desired). Cool cookies on a wire rack.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I was disappointed with these cookies. The dough was too dry and the chocolate filling was too sweet.
