½ cup almonds or pecans, finely chopped
2 tsp vanilla
3½ - 4 dozen chocolate kisses
1¾ cups flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt

oven to 350º. Using electric mixer,
cream Crisco and both sugars until fluffy.
Add egg and both extracts and beat well. Add flour, baking powder, salt and nuts, mix well. Form dough into 1 inch balls. Press each ball around a chocolate kiss so
kiss is completely enclosed. Bake 12
