Chocolate Cherry Glazed Cookie Bites


1 pouch Betty Crocker double chocolate chunk cookie mix
1/3 cup chopped maraschino cherries, drained
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 Tablespoon maraschino cherry juice
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 egg
3/4 cup Betty Crocker Rich and Creamy chocolate frosting
24 maraschino cherries
Line 24 miniature muffin cups with paper baking cups, or spray with cooking spray. Make cookie dough by blending cookie mix, chopped cherries, oil, cherry juice, almond extract and egg until soft dough forms. Spoon dough into each muffin cup filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake at 350 for 12-14 minutes or until dough is set. Cool 20 minutes. Remove from pan. Place cookies on cooling racks.
Heat 3/4 cup of frosting on High for 30 seconds; stir. Dip tops of cookies into frosting. Allow to set about 1 minute; top each bite with a cherry.
