Ingredients

To create these Red Velvet Cherry Kiss Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:

• 1 cup of all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon of baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon of salt
• ½ cup of unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup of granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon of red food coloring
• 12 maraschino cherries, drained and patted dry
• ¼ cup of powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to bake your own batch of Red Velvet Cherry Kiss Cookies:

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
2. In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and red food coloring to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
5. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Take about 1 tablespoon of dough and flatten it slightly. Place a maraschino cherry in the center and wrap the dough around it, rolling it into a smooth ball.
8. Repeat this process with the remaining dough and cherries.
9. Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
10. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set. The centers may still be slightly soft, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.
11. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
12. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
13. Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
