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.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. Semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips are a good choice.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature. The ideal temperature is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and flavor.
Conclusion:
Kiss cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from casual gatherings to holiday parties. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of kiss cookies that everyone will love.
