Ingredients:

Serving

1/3 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup shortening
1 large egg
1 (17.5-oz) package chocolate chip cookie mix (we tested with betty crocker)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
42 assorted chocolate-covered cherries (we tested with russell stover hand-dipped cherry cordials)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
4 to 5 tsp cherry liqueur or maraschino cherry juice

Directions:

Beat butter and shortening in a large bowl at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy; add egg, beating until blended.
Combine cookie mix and cocoa; gradually add to butter mixture, beating well. Shape dough into 1 balls. Place balls 2 apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 375° for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool 2 minutes. Gently press 1 cherry candy in center of each cookie. Cool completely on baking sheets; transfer to wire racks.
Combine powdered sugar and liqueur in a small bowl, stirring until smooth. (Glaze should be thick, yet easy to drizzle.) Place glaze in a small zip-top plastic bag. Snip a tiny hole in 1 corner of bag. Drizzle glaze over cookies. Let stand until set.
Note: Depending on the size candy box you buy, you may need two boxes for these cookies.
