In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the cherry juice and the extract of your choice. Keep mixing until smooth.

Gradually add 2 cups of flour and the salt. Mix on low speed until fully combined.

If needed, add a couple of tablespoons of flour at a time until the dough is like play-dough and does not stick to your hands.

Carefully stir in the chopped cherries until just combined.

Use a tablespoon-sized cookie dough scoop to form small balls. Roll the balls in granulated sugar until fully coated.

Chill the dough balls for at least 20 minutes before baking.

While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the cookie balls evenly apart on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until baked through.

Remove from the oven and place a Hershey kiss in the center of each cookie.

Allow to cool before serving.
