Muddy's Fun House: episode 9... "barely cherry" heart cookies

Welcome to Muddy's Fun House: Super Fantastic At Home Bake-a-long and Variety Show... with your host, Kat from Muddy's!

(New to the Fun House? Here's a little FAQ about the show)

Episode 9 is a just a bake-a-long (no variety bit) but still packed with goodies.  We are baking (drum roll please)....  "barely cherry" heart cookies!!!  These are simple to make but do have multiple "acts", hence the bake-a-long only for this one.  
This beloved Muddy's favorite is just as much fun to make as to eat and I'm so thrilled to share it with y'all :)

    --The type of cherry juice you choose matters! I used tart cherry juice (unsweetened) to get a not-super-sweet cherry flavor.  Use the juice from a jar of maraschino cherries if you want a "punchy", sweeter flavor.
