Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 1 cup granulated sugar white
- 2 large egg
- 1 tablespoon maraschino cherry juice Saved from the chopped maraschino cherries (see below)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 6 drops red gel food coloring
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 10 ounces maraschino cherries chopped, juices drained with some juice used in the recipe (see above)
- 48 pieces chocolate kisses
Instructions
- Place butter and sugar to a large mixing bowl. With an electric mixer cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy; about 3 minutes.
- Add eggs, maraschino cherry juice, vanilla, almond extract, and food coloring to the sugar mixture in the bowl. Mix with an electric mixer until combined.
- In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Set to the side.
- Add flour mix to sugar mix. With an electric mixer blend together until fully mixed and a dough forms.
- Place the chopped maraschino cherries in the bowl with the dough. Fold the maraschino cherries into the dough with a silicone spatula. Place dough in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly spray with oil.
- Scoop cookie dough into one tablespoon scoops of dough. Roll each dough into a ball, spacing about an inch and a half between each cookie. I bake these cookies twelve to a pan. Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes.
- Remove chocolate kisses from wrappers. Gently press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. Move cookies to a wire and cool completely and enjoy!
