Directions

  1. Beat butter and 1/2 cup sugar in large bowl until well blended, stir in corn syrup, egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa and baking soda, gradually add this dry mixture to butter mixture. Blend well. Cover and refrigerate dough for 1 hour or until firm enough to handle.

  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  3. In a small bowl, combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Shape dough into 1 inch balls, roll each ball in sugar mixture and arrange on a cookie sheet. Using your thumb, make an indentation in center of each cookie.

  4. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 7 to 8 minutes or until just set.

  5. Remove the cookies from the oven. If the indentation has grown indistinct, use the top of a spoon and press indentation in further. Immediately place 1 teaspoon white chips into each indentation. After several minutes, swirl the melted chips with a spoon. Top with toffee bits and maraschino cherry halves (if desired). Cool cookies on a wire rack.
