Rudolph’s Nose Christmas Cookies

Ingredients:

1 box (18.25 oz) Devil’s food cake mix

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted

1 egg

Vanilla frosting (about 1/2 tub per batch)

Maraschino cherries (no stems)

 

Directions:

Mix first four ingredients into a stiff dough. (Dough dries quickly and then is hard to roll–add a little oil to help with the dry-out factor, if needed.

Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Press an indentation into a ball (with the round end of a wooden spoon or something like that).

Place 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-11 minutes. If dough is puffed, use the end of a wooden spoon to recreate indentation.

Cool for one minute. Remove from pan and continue to cool. Spread frosting into the indention (or apply with star-tipped pastry bag). Top with a cherry.
