3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup finely chopped maraschino cherries
1/2 tsp almond extract
Red food color
1/3 cup cocoa

Cocoa Almond Glaze (recipe follows)
Beat butter, sugar, egg and vanilla in large bowl until fluffy. Stir together flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until mixture forms a smooth dough. Remove 1-1/4 cups dough to medium bowl; blend in cherries, almond extract and about 6 drops food color.
Stir together cocoa and baking soda. Add with water to remaining dough; blend until smooth. Divide chocolate dough in half; roll each half between two sheets of wax paper, forming 12 x 4-1/2-inch rectangle. Remove top sheet of wax paper from each rectangle. Divide cherry mixture in half; with floured hands, shape each half into 12-inch roll. Place one roll in center of each rectangle; wrap chocolate dough around each roll. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap. Refrigerate about 6 hours or until firm.
Heat oven to 350. Cut rolls into 1/4-inch thick slices; place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 7 minutes or until set. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. Prepare Cocoa Almond Glaze; garnish cookies with glaze. About 7-1/2 dozen cookies.
