CHERRY CHOCOLATE KISS COOKIES - VALENTINE KISSES
These cookies are similar to Peanut Butter Blossoms, but are cherry cookies instead of peanut butter. I like to make them for Valentine's Day-- and call them Valentine Kisses. There are many variations-- you can use make the dough and use white or semi-sweet chocolate chips or use mini-kisses for smaller bite size cookies. The dough can be rolled in plain sugar, or red decorator sugar for an extra festive look.

Steps:
- Beat butter, add sugar and salt. Beat in cherry liquid and almond extract. Beat in flour. Fold in cherries.
- Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes (you don't have to, but dough is easier to work with when cold).
- 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.
- Bake at 325 degrees for 14 minutes. Let cool on pan for 1-2 minutes.
- 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).
- Transfer to wire rack to cool.

Steps:
- 1. Grease cookie sheets. In large bowl combine cookie mix, coconut, cherries, almond extract and egg. Mix at low speed until well blended and dough forms. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for a minimum of 1 hour.
- 2. Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Shape the dough into 1" balls and place them 2" apart on the cookie sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until set and the edges are light golden brown.
- 3. Immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. Remove the cookies from the cookie sheet and cool complete on racks. Makes 3 dozen cookies.
Tips:
- For the best cherry flavor, use fresh cherries. If using frozen cherries, thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before using.
- If you don't have a cherry pitter, you can use a small paring knife to remove the pits.
- Be careful not to overmix the cookie dough, as this will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking, this will help the cookies hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set, the centers should be slightly soft. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
- Enjoy your cherry kiss cookies!
Conclusion:
Cherry kiss cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are the perfect combination of sweet and tart, and the cherry filling is a delightful surprise. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
