I have made these cookies for years and they always get rave reviews. They melt in your mouth like Mexican Wedding Cookies, but they have a hidden Kiss in the center. You can use any of the new types of kisses - they are all good, but the traditional chocolate or the Hugs are the best to me. The hardest part is unwrapping all the Hershey Kisses. Enjoy!
Cocoa Kiss Cookies
1 c butter
2/3 c sugar
1 ts vanilla
2 c flour
1 c pecans, finely chopped (use a food processor)
1 pk chocolate kisses
1 c powdered sugar
Beat butter, sugar and vanilla at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add flour and nuts on low speed until well-blended. Chill dough 2 hours. For each cookie, use about 1 tablespoon of dough to encase one chocolate kiss completely. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees until set but not brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and roll in powdered sugar.
