1 C soft sweet butter or margarine
1/2 C sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 C flour
1 C chopped nuts (optional)
1 pkg milk chocolate kisses
Confectioners' sugar
At medium speed, beat butter, sugar, and vanilla. Add flour and nuts; beat at low speed until combined. Chill dough. Using about 1 tablespoon of dough, wrap dough around chocolate kiss to make a ball. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes; do not allow cookies to brown. Remove from oven and roll in confectioners' sugar while warm. Let cool. Makes about 40 cookies.
***Note from my grandmother: I didn't chill dough and it worked okay. I didn't roll cookies in sugar; they were sweet enough and well flavored. I rolled out the ball of dough and pushed the chocolate kiss up from the bottom and covered it.***
