Chocolate-dipped cherry cookies

12 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Whole almonds;, chopped & divided
1 pack (18.25 oz) cherry-flavored cake mix
1 Egg
⅓ cup Vegetable oil
2 tablespoons Water
1½ cup Semisweet chocolate chips; melted
2 teaspoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Finely chop almonds with food chopper. Reserve about 2 tablespoons almonds for garnish. Combine remaining almonds, cake mix, egg, oil and water in mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly. (Mixture will be dry) With small stainless steel scoop, drop dough 2 inches apart onto 13" baking stone. Bake 13-15 minutes or until tops are lightly browned. Cool 2 minutes on stone; remove to non-stick cooling rack. Cool completely. Place chocolate chips and oil in covered micro-cooker. Microwave on high 2-21/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth. Dip half of each cookie in chocolate; shake to remove excess. Sprinkle with reserved almonds. Place on parchment paper and refrigerate until set. Yield: about 3 dozen.

NOTES : If chocolate thickens, microwave at 30-second intervals until dipping consistency.
