Happy 30th Birthday Christine! plus Cookie Recipe

I can't believe Christine is 30 already!  Where has the time gone?  She is a wonderful daughter.  She, as well as all of my five daughters, is smart, spiritual, stylish, stunning, so splendid in many ways.  They are all musical and great cooks and decorators.  Now for the good part,  an award winning recipe for birthdays or holidays:

CHOCOLATE CHERRY CORDIALS COOKIES
1/2 cup soft butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp almond extract
1 and 1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
30 maraschino cherries (drained and patted dry)
2 tbsp. sugar (for coating)
 Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
4 tsp maraschino juice
1 tbsp butter
Preheat oven 350.  Cream butter and sugar.  Add the egg and extract.  Add the rest of the dry ingredients.  Beat well.  Flatten and then mold dough around the cherry.  Bake 8 minutes.  Cool.  Drizzle with glaze.
