Chocolate and cherries go hand in hand like peas and carrots. The chocolate covered cherry Hersey kisses are great. So when I found them again at the store for the holidays I had to buy them so make cookies with them. Hersey kisses are like M&M's so many different flavors for the holidays.
This recipe includes some dried cherries as well as the Hersey kisses.
Melt 3 squares of unsweetened baking chocolate.
Melt 3 Tablespoons of butter in the melted chocolate. Set aside to let cool.
Add 1 1/2 cup sugar in a separate bowl.
3/4 cup all purpose flour
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup dried cherries chopped
Chop them well.
Pour the chocolate into the flour mixture.
Mix well.
Add the second 3/4 cup plain flour.
Add the cherries
Scrap the sides to make sure it is mixed well.
Add 1/3 cup sugar to a second bowl.
Make balls out of the dough. Roll the balls in the sugar and then place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. The dough is sticky and will make a mess on your hands. Place in a preheated 300 oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Count how many cookies you have so that while the cookies are baking you can unwrap the kisses.
The cookies out of the oven. Work fast now.
Place a kiss in the middle of the cookie and press down.
Let the cookies sit until the kisses set and are no longer soft.
