Preheat oven to 350F

Mix together cake mix, cream cheese, butter and egg.

Portion into 1 1/2 Tablespoon-sized balls (I used a cookie scoop to help with this). You should end up with approximately 20 cookie balls.

Take one ball and flatten it in your hand. Place the cherry on top and fold the cookie dough around the cherry (carefully) to cover it completely.

Repeat with remaining cookie dough.

Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until cracked and no longer glossy.

Cool the cookies on a cooling rack as you prepare the drizzle.

Mix together the sugar and maraschino cherry juice – starting with 3 Tablespoons and adding more to get a runny yet still somewhat thick texture.

Drizzle the pink cherry drizzle over the cookies and allow to set before serving or packaging.
