CHERRY CHOCOLATE KISS COOKIES - VALENTINE KISSES



Cherry Chocolate Kiss Cookies - Valentine Kisses image

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.

Provided by CFS Momma

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h14m

Yield 24-36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cherry juice
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2-3/4 cup chopped or crushed maraschino cherry
1 cup granulated or decorator sugar (as needed)
12 ounces Hershey chocolate kisses (1 per cookie) or 12 ounces Hershey's Hugs chocolates (1 per cookie)

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.

TOFFEE CHOCOLATE KISS



Toffee Chocolate Kiss image

What a lovely flavor combination. This cookie is super light and super easy to eat.

Provided by Wendy Rusch

Categories     Chocolate

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c butter, softened
1 scant c sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 c flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c toffee bits
1/2 c pecans, chopped, optional
36ish hersey kisses, unwrapped

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Line pans with parchment paper or lightly spray pans...or the toffee will stick.
  • 2. In a large bowl, beat butter at medium speed until creamy, add sugar, beating well, add vanilla mixing well.
  • 3. In a medium bowl, sift or whisk together flour, powder and salt. Gradually add to creamed mixture, mixing well, until it 'starts' to come together, then add toffee and pecans, if desired. Dough will be crumbly, see photo.
  • 4. Step 4 - #1 - For Kiss on top of cookie. Shape dough into 1-1 1/2" balls, squeeze dough together and then roll into a ball. If it breaks apart, squeeze together again then roll. Place onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until just starts to brown along bottom edge. Remove from oven, immediately press Kiss into center of each cookie. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling racks.
  • 5. Step 4 - #2 - For Kiss inside of cookie. Shape dough into 1 1/2" balls, squeezing dough together and then rolling, push a Kiss, tip first into the ball, using a little more dough to cover bottom if needed. Roll again, gently to make nice ball shape. Place onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until just starts to brown along bottom edge. Cool on pan 2 minutes, then remove from cookie sheet to cooling racks.
  • 6. TIPS: I had mentioned in the above note, about turning your kiss upside down makes for an ugly cookie...than a Just a Pinch member, Carol Harpel/Kitzer mentioned that doing that makes for easier shipping to our troops overseas or any shipping for that matter...Wonderful Idea!!! ANOTHER TIP: Member Jill Hanses mentioned spreading the kiss over the top, another Wonderful Idea!!! To do this I would remove cookies from oven, place kiss on top of each cookie, then remove cookies to cooling racks. Wait 10ish minutes (the heat from the cookie will melt the chocolate) then spread chocolate over top. Allow to cool and set up. You can place in frig or freezer to hurry the chocolate back to a solid state. Enjoy!!!

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the kisses will be. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) and a smooth, rich flavor.
  • Tempering the chocolate: Tempering the chocolate is an important step that helps to stabilize the chocolate and give it a smooth, glossy finish. You can temper chocolate by melting it and then cooling it in a controlled manner.
  • Use a piping bag: A piping bag makes it easy to create uniform kisses. If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
  • Chill the kisses before serving: Chilling the kisses helps to set the chocolate and makes them easier to handle.
  • Get creative with your decorations: You can decorate the kisses with a variety of toppings, such as sprinkles, nuts, or dried fruit.

Conclusion:

Chocolate kisses are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed on their own or used to decorate other desserts. They are also a great way to show your loved ones how much you care. With a little practice, you can easily make chocolate kisses at home that are just as good as the ones you buy from the store. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet treat, give these chocolate kiss recipes a try!
