My grandma loved chocolate-covered cherries, so I combined 2 recipes to come up with these yummy cookies. She loved that I made a special cookie just for her. These are also Jessie’s favorite cookie.
Ingredients
- 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shortening (such as Crisco®)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 4 teaspoons maraschino cherry juice
- 4 drops red food coloring
- ¾ teaspoon almond extract
- 1/8 teaspoon cherry flavoring (such as Wilton®)
- ¾ cup drained, chopped maraschino cherries
- 48 milk chocolate kisses (such as HERSHEY'S), or more as needed
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2
Whisk flour and salt together in a small bowl.
Step 3
Combine shortening, powdered sugar, cherry juice, red food coloring, and cherry flavoring in a large bowl. Add flour mixture and mix well. Stir in maraschino cherries.
Step 4
Shape dough into 1-inch balls; arrange 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are light golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately top each cookie with a chocolate kiss, pressing firmly. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
Cook’s Note:
The cookies get their rich cherry flavor from the Wilton(R) flavoring. Do not skip this ingredient. These cookies can stand on their own so they can also be made without the chocolate candies.
