Chocolate Cherry Cookies
Yield: Makes 20 servings
Ingredients:
1
package (8 ounces) chocolate cake mix
3
tablespoons fat-free (skim) milk
1/2
teaspoon almond extract
10
maraschino cherries, rinsed, drained and cut into halves
2
tablespoons white chocolate chips
1/2
teaspoon canola oil
Preparation:
1.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
2.
Beat cake mix, milk and almond extract in medium bowl with electric mixer at low speed. Increase speed to medium when mixture looks crumbly; beat 2 minutes or until smooth dough forms. (Dough will be very sticky.)
3.
Coat hands with cooking spray. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place balls 2-1/2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Flatten each ball slightly. Place cherry half in center of each cookie.
4.
Bake 8 to 9 minutes or until cookies lose their shininess and tops begin to crack. Do not overbake. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
5.
Place white chocolate chips and oil in small microwavable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 30 seconds; stir. Repeat as necessary until chips are melted and mixture is smooth. Drizzle white chocolate mixture over cookies. Let stand until set.
