Title: Hidden Kisses
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 40 servings

1 c Butter
1 c Finely chopped pecans
1/2 c Powdered sugar
9 oz Chocolate kisses
(remove foil
1 ts Vanilla
2 c Flour
Powdered sugar; for rolling

Blend butter, sugar and vanilla with mixer at medium speed until LIGHT
AND FLUFFY (IMPORTANT). At low speed, beat in flour and pecans until well
blended. Divide dough into 40 parts, and shape each part around a chocolate
kiss...covering it completely. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 12
minutes at 375 degrees. The cookies DO NOT brown. Let stand for 1 minute,
remove to rack, cool slightly, and roll in powdered sugar.
When COMPLETELY cool, roll in powdered sugar again. TIP: Try to
distribute dough evenly around kiss...only use enough dough to hide the
kiss completely. Do not overhandle the dough, so the cookie will be light
and delicate. Helen Jolly
