How to make chocolate-covered cherry cookies:

Frosting:1 c. (6 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips1/2 c. sweetened condensed milk1 to 3 tsp. maraschino cherry juice In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy; beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the dry ingredients; gradually add to creamed mixture (batter will be very firm). Shape into 48 balls, about 1-inch round, and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Push 1 cherry halfway into each ball.
