1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/2 cups flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
20 to 25 maraschino cherries
2 tablespoons juice from maraschino cherries (optional)
20 to 25 chocolate chips , plus 1 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350° F. Cream sugar and margarine well. Add vanilla, flour and salt. Mix well. If the dough seems dry, add up to 2 tablespoons of the maraschino cherry juice. Stuff each cherry with a chocolate chip, then wrap in 1 teaspoon dough. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 12 to 15 minutes. Cool. Melt 1 cup chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over low heat or in the microwave, and dip top of cookies in melted chocolate.

Have made these for years. Also substitute the chocolate for butterscotch or white chocolate!! My kids love to help with these cookies - especially the eating part!

I've made these cookies every year for seven years, but this year, the first batch that I put in the oven just melted. I followed everything correctly, like I do every year, so does anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong?

My husband loves chocolate covered cherries, so this was a great recipe for him.
