Soft and chewy cookies filled with tons of delicious juicy Maraschino cherries, and topped off with a chocolate kiss. The cherry flavor and the flavor of the chocolate kiss go perfectly together in these cookies. Everyone will love these delicious juicy cherry cookies for a fun Valentine’s day themed treat.
The cookie dough is made similar to a classic sugar cookie dough, except that instead of vanilla extract, cherry juicy is used. And chopped Maraschino cherries are added into the cookie dough. Roll the dough into balls, and place them onto a large ungreased baking sheet. Bake until the cookies are fully cooked through. Remove them from the oven, and place one chocolate kiss on each cookie, and let cool completely on cooling racks before serving.
