In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter and confectioners sugar until light and fluffy
Add the cherry juice and extract of choice and continue mixing until smooth
Add 2 cups of flour and the salt and mix on low until fully incorporated
Slowly add a couple of tablespoons of flour at a time until the dough resembles a play-dough consistency and can be handled without sticking to hands
Carefully stir in the chopped cherries, just until combined
Use a tablespoon-size cookie dough scoop to form small cookie dough balls and roll the balls in granulated sugar until coated
Chill the dough balls for at least 20 minutes before baking
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper
Place cookies 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
