Name: Buried Cherry Cookies
Ingredients: 10 oz Jar maraschino cherries; (about 48); 1 1/2 c Flour; 1/2 c Unsweetened cocoa; 1/4 ts Baking soda; 1/4 ts Baking powder; 1/4 ts Salt; 1/2 c Butter or margarine; 1 c Sugar; 1 Egg; 1 1/2 ts Vanilla; 1 c Semisweet chocolate chips; 1/2 c Sweetened condensed milk

Grace burst forth spontaneously from the bosom of eternal love and rested not until it had removed every impediment and found its way to the sinner's side, swelling round him in full flow. Grace does away the distance between the sinner and God, which sin had created. Grace meets the sinner on the spot where he stands; grace approaches him just as he is. Grace does not wait till there is something to attract it nor till a good reason is found in the sinner for its flowing to him... It was free, sovereign grace when it first thought of the sinner; it was free grace when it found and laid hold of him; and it is free grace when it hands him up into glory.
