ready in:
under 30 minutes

ingredients

1 package white cake mix
1/3 cup oil
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
OR
1 teaspoon rum extract
2 eggs
1 cup candied cherries
milk chocolate candy kisses with almonds
OR
white chocolate-striped candy kisses with almonds

directions

Heat oven to 375 degrees F.

In large bowl, combine cake mix, oil, extract and eggs; stir with spoon just until thoroughly moistened. Stir in candied cherries. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 6-8 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Immediately top each cookie with a candy kiss, pressing down firmly. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets.

NOTE: For a new flavor try substituting 1 tsp. rum extract for the almond extract.

Make sure that cookies are cooled and set before packing into containers for storage as chocolate may melt slightly when placed on cookie.
