Ingredients

1 cup butter or margarine, softened

1-1/3 cups sugar

2 eggs, separated

4 Tablespoons milk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

2/3 cup baking cocoa

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups walnuts or pecans

Filling

1 cup confectioners’ sugar

Instructions:

Here is an unusual “Kiss” cookie recipe that is guaranteed to get you lot’s of kisses – the non-fattening kind!

In a mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar, egg yolks, milk, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Combine flour, cocoa, and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Cover and chill 1 hour or until firm enough to roll into small balls.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, lightly beat egg whites.

Shape dough into 1 inch balls; dip in egg whites then roll in nuts. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Make an indentation with thumb in center of each cookie. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 – 12 minutes or until center is set.

Combine the first four filling ingredients in a small bowl; mix until smooth. Spoon 1/4 teaspoon into each warm cookie; gently press a chocolate kiss or hug in the center. Carefully remove from baking sheet to wire racks to cool.
