Cherry Chocolate Kiss Cookies - Valentine Kisses

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Beat butter, add sugar and salt. Beat in cherry liquid and almond extract. Beat in flour. Fold in cherries.

2. 2

   Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes (you don't have to, but dough is easier to work with when cold).

3. 3

   Roll dough into balls, coat in sugar and place on cookie sheet. These cookies will flatten on their own, but I typically put a thumb print in the center to flatten some.

4. 4

   Bake at 325 degrees for 14 minutes. Let cool on pan for 1-2 minutes.

5. 5

   Add Hershey Kiss/Hug to center of the cookies. (Hugs melt especially fast, you may want to let the cookies cool a little longer before adding Hugs, but cookies should still be warm so chocolate can melt into the cookie).

6. 6

   Transfer to wire rack to cool.
