Time 45m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
48 moonshine-soaked cherries
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate pieces
½ cup sweetened condensed milk

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Combine flour and cocoa powder in a bowl. Drain cherries, reserving 4 teaspoons juice. Halve any large cherries.
Beat butter in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Beat in sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract. Gradually beat in flour mixture.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Press down in the center of each ball with your thumb and place a cherry or cherry half in the center of each cookie.
Combine chocolate pieces and condensed milk for frosting in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; heat until chocolate melts. Stir in reserved cherry juice. Spoon about 1 teaspoon frosting over each cookie, spreading to cover the cherry.
Bake in batches in the preheated oven until edges are firm, about 10 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheets for 1 minute before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Tips:

Use fresh, ripe cherries for the best flavor. Frozen or canned cherries can also be used, but they will not have as much flavor as fresh cherries.
Pit the cherries before using them. You can use a cherry pitter or a knife to remove the pits.
Use a good quality moonshine. The better the moonshine, the better the cherry moonshine will be.
If you don't have access to moonshine, you can use vodka or another clear spirit.
Add sugar to taste. The amount of sugar you add will depend on how sweet you like your cherry moonshine.
Let the cherry moonshine sit for at least 2 weeks before drinking. This will allow the flavors to meld and mellow.

Conclusion:

Cherry moonshine is a delicious and easy-to-make liqueur that is perfect for sipping on a summer day or enjoying after dinner. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can make your own cherry moonshine that is sure to impress your friends and family.
