Frosting

• In a small saucepan, cook the chocolate chips and milk over low heat until chocolate is melted.        
• Stir 4 tsp of reserved cherry juice in chocolate mixture. Stir until smooth.
• With a spoon, carefully place a teaspoon of frosting over the cherry until completely covered, or hidden. You can always add additional reserved cherry juice if frosting gets too thick.
  
• Once all cookies are frosted, bake for about 10 minutes.
