Some of my absolute favorite cookies!3/4 c sugar
1/3 c butter
1/3 c shortening
1 egg
1 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 jars (10 oz each) maraschino cherries, well drained
16-18 oz white confectionery coating
2-4 oz dark chocolate confectionery coating
In a mixing bowl, cream sugar, butter, and shortening. Add egg, milk, and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Form 2 tsps-ful of dough into a ball. Flatten ball and place a cherry in the center; shape dough around cherry. Repeat with remaining dough and cherries. Place balls 2" apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 min or until set and the edges are lightly browned. Cool 1 min before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
Melt white confectionery coating. Dip the cookie tops into the coating so that tops are completely covered; place cookie on wax paper. Repeat with all the cookies. Let coating set. Melt chocolate confectionery coating; drizzle in zig-zags over the tops of cookies. Store cookies in a covered container in refrigerator. Makes 4 1/2 dozen.
