Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 48 mini muffin cups with cooking spray. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix and cocoa until well mixed. Stir in butter, water and egg until soft dough forms.
2 Shape dough into 48 (1-inch) balls. (If dough is sticky, use moistened fingers.) Press 1 ball into bottom and up side of each muffin cup.
3 Bake 8 to 9 minutes or until edges are set. Gently press end of handle of wooden spoon into bottom and against side of each cookie cup to flatten, being careful not to make holes in dough. Bake 2 to 3 minutes longer or until bottom is set. Cool in pan on cooling rack 20 to 30 minutes.
4 Meanwhile, in medium microwavable bowl, mix baking chips and cream. Microwave on High 30 seconds; stir. Microwave 20 to 30 seconds longer or until mixture is smooth and chips are melted. Stir in amaretto and chopped cherries. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes until slightly thickened; stir.
5 Using tip of knife or metal spatula, lift cookie cups out of pan, gently twisting and lifting up; place on cooling racks. Repress centers with spoon if necessary. Spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons cherry mixture into each cup. Sprinkle with red sugar or top with cherry piece.

These were a hit however I made a slight change. Instead of cherry I filled with Peanut butter ganache. Family loved them so much I have to make triple batches for the holidays.

These are DELICIOUS! And PRETTY! **BUT you should definitely use baking cups to line the pan** My dough stuck so bad that I ruined nearly half of the cups trying to get them out of the pan. Yes, I used the cooking spray like the recipe said. And there is also butter in the dough which made them even greasier- so I dont know what the problem was. Oh and I omitted the cocoa, so that I could have just plain white sugar cookie cups! YUM!
