Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour, sifted
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans
24 Hershey's kisses
confectioner's sugar for dusting

Directions:
Cream the butter and sugar together until fully mixed, preferably with mixer.

Add vanilla.

Slowly add the flour, making sure to completely mix.

Add salt.

Add the nuts.

Mix again.

Roll dough around a kiss, completely covering chocolate into 1 inch balls and cook at 300 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until very lightly browned on bottom.

They will look light.

When still warm, roll in confectioner's sugar.

When cool, roll in sugar again.
