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.
