Snow Covered Cherry Kiss Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350. Mix powdered sugar, softened butter, cherry liquid, vanilla extract, and food coloring in a bowl. Add in flour and salt. Mix well.

2. Gently fold in chopped up cherries. Shape dough into 1 inch balls and place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Use your thumb to make a well on the top of each dough ball

3. Bake cookies 10-12 minutes. Remove and allow to cool 5 minutes before carefully removing from pan allowing to finish cooling completely. When cookies are cool enough to touch, gently press thumb in center to re-form the well.

4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate and heavy cream. Microwave for 1 minute, stirring every 20 seconds until all chips are melted and mixture is smooth. Add 6 drops of red food coloring and mix until smooth. Fill each cookie well with 1 tsp of red chocolate. Gently press chocolate kiss into center of each cookie. Allow to cool completely and let chocolate set about 1 hour. Optional: Sprinkle cooled cookies with granulated sugar or white sprinkles for a fancy snow look!
