1 Cup powdered sugar
1 Cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature
2 teaspoons maraschino cherry juice
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Red food coloring, just a few drops
2 1/4 Cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 Cup maraschino cherries, drained and chopped
48 Hershey’s cherry cordial chocolate kisses, unwrapped
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degres.
In large bowl, combine powdered sugar, butter, cherry juice, almond extract and food coloring; blend well. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Stir in flour and salt. Add cherries and mix well.
Form dough into 1 inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in preheated oven 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly brown around edges. Immediately top each hot cookie with a chocolate kiss. Remove from cookie sheets and cool.
Makes 48 cookies.
