CHOCOLATE CHERRY BALLS
These cadies can be made as gifts anytime of the year. However, I think they would make a nice addition to your Christmas gift list and cookie tray. Paraffin can usually be found in the canning section of the store. Actually, hardware stores are the best place to find it.

CHOCOLATE-COVERED CHERRY COOKIES
Inspired by the nostalgic candy, this indulgent dessert is both familiar and elegant. Almond paste fortifies the rich aroma of the cherries, while kirsch adds cherry and floral notes. High-quality candied cherries, such as Luxardo or Amarena, work best here for flavor, but you can also use cocktail maraschino or glace cherries in a pinch.

Steps:
- For the cookies: Position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a bowl until evenly combined; set aside. Break the almond paste into small pieces in the bowl of a stand mixer, add the sugar and beat on low speed until the paste forms small crumbles in the sugar, about 2 minutes. Add half the butter and continue beating until the mixture starts forming large clumps and wiping the sides of the bowl. Add the remaining butter, increase the speed to medium high and beat until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla, egg and kirsch if using and beat until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and beat on low until the dough just comes together.
- Scoop 30 tablespoon-size portions of dough, roll into balls and divide between the prepared baking sheets, spacing them evenly apart. Press a cherry in the center of each dough ball, then refrigerate the cookies on the baking sheets for 30 minutes.
- Bake, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through, until the cookies are puffed and set at the edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 1 minute, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze: Combine the sugar, 2 tablespoons of the reserved cherry syrup and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the chocolate chips and stir slowly until smooth.
- Using a teaspoon, spoon the chocolate glaze over the cherry of each cookie, letting it drip down the sides. Allow the glaze to set before serving, about 10 minutes. Store the cookies in a single layer in an airtight containers for up to 5 days.

Steps:
- Drain cherries, reserving the juice (start with 2 jars)
- Beat sugar and margarine together until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat until well blended. Add cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt and 1/2 cup of flour and mix until well blended. Add remaining flour, mix until well blended.
- Shape dough into 1 inch balls and place 2" apart on ungreased baking sheet. If the dough is too sticky to work well (depending on temp in your kitchen), powder your hands with a little flour or cocoa powder, or place dough in refrigerator to firm up a bit before making balls.
- When all balls are made, press down in the middle of each cookie with your thumb. (Hint: I've found that the back side of a 1/2 tsp works well for making the space for a cherry) Place a drained cherry in the center of each cookie.
- In a small saucepan, combine the chocolate chips and the sweetened condensed milk; heat until chocolate is melted. Remove from heat and stir in 4 teaspoons of the reserved cherry juice.
- Spoon the chocolate mixture over each cherry, covering completely. (If the chocolate mixture seems too thick, thin with a bit more cherry juice. It will be thick, but still 'swirlable' to get the best coverage and a nice looking cookie in the end)
- Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes. Let sit on cookie sheet for up to a minute, and then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
