Category: Cookies
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

1 stick butter, softened
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1 large egg, yolk and white separated
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup macadamia nuts, finely chopped

Frosting:
4 cups powdered sugar
4 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla
6 to 8 tbsp milk
1 tsp cherry flavoring
4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp chocolate syrup

For cookies: In a medium bowl, mix together butter, brown sugar, vanilla and salt. Add the yolk, cocoa and flour; mix well.

Put egg white in small bowl. Put nuts in another bowl. Using a small cookie scoop or heaping tablespoon, shape dough into balls. Dip each ball into egg white, then into nuts. Place on greased cookie sheet. Bake 4 minutes at 350.

Take cookies out and make a thumbprint in each center. Put cookies back into oven and bake an additional 7 to 9 minutes. They will look golden brown when done. Take cookies out of the oven and let cool on wire rack.

For frosting: In medium bowl, mix powdered sugar, butter, vanilla and enough milk to make a thick paste consistency. Place half of frosting in small bowl and add cherry flavoring. Mix well and evenly divide among cookies. Spoon into center of cookies.

In another bowl, mix remaining half of frosting with cocoa powder and syrup. Mix well and place on top of the cherry filling. Let harden.

Makes about 3 dozen.
