(You may need to add in 1-2 Tbsp. of milk or juice from the cherries.) Make about 30 dough balls and place onto cookie sheets. Use your finger to make a “well” in each cookie and then put a cherry in each! NOTE: Dry off the cherries before using. Bake for 10-12 minutes and let cool on cookie racks. Melt chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk together over low heat. Be careful not to burn the chocolate! Pour over cookies or drizzle! link
