Chocolate Kiss Surprises

Makes about 36

1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans
1 (9 oz) package chocolate kisses
powdered sugar

Beat together butter, sugar and vanilla until creamy. Add flour gradually until well blended. Stir in pecans. Chill dough about 1 hour. Pre-heat oven to 375 F. Mold about 1 tablespoon of dough around each chocolate kiss, covering candy completely. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet until they just turn golden around the edges, about 10-15 minutes. Let cool slightly before removing from cookie sheet. Cool on wire racks. When completely cool, dust with powdered sugar. Store in airtight container.

Would make this again.
Recipe was rather easy for an adult to make, assembling the cookies was a bit difficult for a young child (we improvised and just had him put the kisses on top of the dough). They smell delicious and I am quite sure they will taste so as well!

Very tasty - not too sweet, little dry, but very good. four stars

This is my recipe and wanted to say thanks for all the good reviews.
And a note: do NOT use the caramel kisses, as they leak out and make a burnt mess on the cookie pan. I would only use solid kisses. five stars

I've made these cookies and they are fabulous.
This year I decided to play with the center...the mint truffle and chocolate truffle kisses are also good. I also used liqueur instead of vanilla. Both received rave reviews. five stars

Would make this again.
I have made these cookies many times and it is by far the easiest and most delicious cookie ever. My 8 year old daughter makes them by her self with and without the kiss. They can be made from start to finish in less than a half hour. I would recommend this recipe to everyone and anyone!!! five stars

Would make this again.
I wanted to make cookies for a bake sale fundraiser in my son's preschool.I didn't know what to make but I found this recipe and baked 2 batches for the first time. I individually wrapped the cookies and put them on the table with all the other baked goods. In 20 minutes, I sold ALL of them! The cookies were a big hit and everyone is asking for the recipe. I highly recommend this recipe. five stars
