Leslie Nord's Random Thoughts on Friends, Family and Life

I never was much of a writer - more like a rambler that easily gets lost in a tangent. My blog lets me go out on those tangents any time I want to. So remember, life is like a roller coaster: sit down and hang on. Sometimes you'll want to scream, sometimes you'll puke, but give it a chance and you'll find it can be a lot of fun.

Kiss Cookies

December 10, 2012 by leslie Leave a Comment

I found this recipe in a magazine years ago. I think the may have been called Chocolate Bon Bons but I’ve always called them Kiss Cookies because of the Hershey’s Kiss in the middle of them.

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 Cup Crisco
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar (firmly packed)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 Tsp Almond Extract
  • 1 3/4 Cup Flour (plain)
  • 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 1/2 Cup finely chopped Pecans
  • 2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 3-4 dozen Hershey’s Kisses

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using electric mixer, cream Crisco and sugars until fluffy. Add egg, extracts; beat well. Add flour, baking powder, salt and nuts. Mix until blended. Form dough into 1-inch balls. Press each ball around a kiss so the kiss is completely enclosed like a chocolate covered cherry. Bake 10-12 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet. (Do not overbake). Cool on wire racks. Frost/decorate as desired.

For the decorating, I’ve used tubes of green and red frosting. Then dip the frosted cookie into little bowl with Nonpareils.

Those of you who were betting that my knees would be the first "metal" replacements, you lost. I now have a bit of titanium in my cervical spine. I wonder if the doc will give me a pic of the post-op x-rays?
