Of all the cookies I make at Christmas time this has always been one of the family favorites. My mother used to make them when I was a child and I have continued the tradition. Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour |
1/2 cup powdered sugar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 cup butter or margarine |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 cup finely chopped walnuts |
powdered sugar |
bag of hersheys kisses |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a large bowl combine the flour, powdered sugar, and salt.
3. Using a pastry blender or fork, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add vanilla and nuts.
5. Mix with hands to form a smooth dough.
6. Wrap the dough around a Hershey kiss so you can't see the chocolate.
7. Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
8. Bake at 400 degrees for 5 to 7 minutes.
9. Cool one minute and then remove from the cookie sheets.
10. Carefully roll in powdered sugar.
11. Store in tightly covered container or freeze.
12. Makes 5 dozen cookies.
