¼ cup cherry flavored instant jello mix
½ cup butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 ¾ cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
4 dozen milk chocolate candy kisses
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl beat 1 ½ cups sugar with butter until light and fluffy. Add jello mix, vanilla and eggs and mix well. In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Pour into the sugar/butter mixture until well combined.
Shape dough into 1 inch balls and roll in 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets and immediately press a chocolate candy kiss into the center of each cookie. Allow to cool completely.
Makes 4 dozen cookies.
TIP: Hershey’s brand Kisses come in several new flavors this holiday season. Try the cherry cordial flavored kisses (they have a liquid center of cherry liqueur) that go fantastically with the cookies. Or try their new peppermint flavored ones that are made with white chocolate and they have red stripes with a bit of peppermint crunchies in them. Yumalicious!
