This is another of my friend Kayla's recipes. She traditionally makes them with her Christmas holiday baking because of the red color, but they would be delicious any time of year. Even my kids that don't like maraschino cherries love these!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tsp. maraschino cherry liquid
- Red food coloring (optional)
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 10 oz. jar maraschino cherries
- 3-4 tbsp. sugar
- 36 Hershey's kisses, unwrapped
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 325 F.
- Drain cherries of their liquid, but be sure to reserve about 2 teaspoons of their juice.
- Cream butter using a nixer or wooden spoon. Gradually stir in the powdered sugar a little at a tine.
- Stir in the cherry juice, red food coloring (if you want them to look extra pink or red), and vanilla.
- Gradually stir in flour a little at a time. Mix until just combined.
- Chop the cherries, then fold them in.
- Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Roll in white sugar. Gently flatten (just a little) using the bottom of a glass.
- Bake 12-15 minutes, or until the sides are just beginning to brown. Remove from oven and immediately press a kiss into the middle of each cookie.
