    2/3 cup shortening
    2/3 cup sugar
    2 eggs
    2 cups all purpose flour
    1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt

    1 tablespoon cornstarch
    1/2 cup chocolate syrup

    Recipe




    Make the Chocolate-Nut Filling first, it needs to cool. Cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy; add egg, and beat well. Add flour, baking powder, and salt; mix well. Chill dough 2 to 4 hours. Roll out dough to 1/8" thickness on a lightly floured board. Cut half of dough into 36 circles with a 2" cookie cutter. Using a 2" doughnut cutter, cut remaining dough into 36 circles. Place solid circles on lightly greased cookie sheets. In center of each circle, place a teaspoon of Chocolate-Nut Filling; spread almost to the edges. Top with a circle cut with doughnut cutter; seal edges with fork tines. Bake at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes. When cookies are almost cooled, place a Hershey's Kiss on the top.

    For Chocolate-Nut Filling:

    Combine the sugar, cornstarch, chocolate syrup, and pecans and cook over low heat until thick and smooth. Cool thoroughly.
    Yield: about 1 cup.
