INSTRUCTIONS
Mix thoroughly margarine, sugar, egg, chocolate, buttermilk and vanilla. Stir in flour, soda, salt and cherries. Cover; chill 1 hour. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately remove from baking sheet; cool. Frost. Makes 4 1/42 dozen cookies. Chocolate Icing: Melt 2 squares (2 ounces) unsweetened chocolate and 2 tablespoons margarine over low heat. Remove from heat; blend in 3 tablespoons water and about 2 cups confectioner's sugar. Cherry Butter Icing: Blend 1/3 cup margarine, softened, and 3 cups confectioners' sugar. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla, about 2 tablespoons milk, 2 tablespoons chopped maraschino cherries and 2 drops red food color. NOTE: This makes a very nice presentation when half of the cookies have the chocolate icing and the other half the cherry butter.
