    Lemon Kiss Cookies


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    3/4 cup sugar
    1 1/2 cups butter or margarine, softened*
    1 Tbsp. lemon extract
    2 3/4 cups flour
    1 1/2 cups finely chopped almonds
    1 (13-oz.) milk chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped
    Powdered sugar
    1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
    1 Tbsp. shortening

    Recipe



    In large bowl, combine sugar, butter or margarine and lemon extract; beat until light and fluffy. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Add flour and almonds; beat at low speed until well blended. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 1 hour for easier handling.

    Heat oven to 375° F. Shape scant 1 tablespoon dough around each kiss, covering completely. Roll in hands to form ball; place on ungreased cookie sheets.

    Bake at 375° F for 8 to 10 minutes or until cookies are set and bottom edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets. Cool completely (about 5 minutes).

    Lightly sprinkle cooled cookies with powdered sugar. In small saucepan, combine chocolate chips and shortening; stir over low heat until melted and smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies. Store in tightly covered container.

    Makes about 6 dozen cookies.
