1 cup shortening
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp almond extract
2 tsp cherry juice
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup chopped cherries
1 bag chocolate kisses
Start with 1 cup shortening, 1 cup powdered sugar, and add in 1/2 tsp almond extract and 2 tsp cherry juice and mix that.
Then sift 2 1/4 cups flour, and 1/2 tsp salt. Add that to your sugar mixture.
Then chop 1/2 a cup maraschino cherries and add those to the mixture.
Roll into small balls, put in the oven at 350 degrees, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes.
When you pull them out of the oven, press chocolate kisses on top.
