List of Ingredients


3/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 dozen chocolate kisses



Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix shortening, sugars until fluffy. Add the egg, extracts and beat well. Add flour, baking powder and salt and mix well. Form dough into 1-inch balls. Press each ball around a kiss until it is completely enclosed. (Our dough was soft and a little sticky, so we added an additional 1/4 cup flour.)

Bake for 12 minutes on ungreased cookie sheets. You can leave them plain, or frost them with any type of vanilla frosting.

YIELD: 3 1/2 Dozen Bon Bons
