Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies

These cookies are so good! It's something a little different than usual, which I love. Very chocolatey (is that a word?...it should be if it's not...)

Ingredients: 1 stick butter, softened
                    1 cup sugar
                   1 egg
                  1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
                  1 1/2 cups flour
                1/4 tsp. baking soda
                 1/4 tsp. baking powder
                  1/2 cup cocoa
                1 (10oz.) jar maraschino cherries
                1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
                1 cup semisweet choc. chips


Directions: Beat butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla and beat well. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cocoa and stir until smooth.
   Roll into balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Drain the cherries but keep the juice! You use it later.
 Press center of each ball with your thumb. Place a cherry in the indentation.
 In a pan over the stove, heat the condensed milk and chocolate chips until melted. Stir in 4 tsp. of the cherry juice. Spoon a little of the mixture over each cookie covering the cherry.
  Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes.
