3/4 c. Crisco
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/4 c. packed brown sugar
1 egg
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 3/4 c. unsifted flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. very finely chopped or ground almonds or pecans
3 1/2 to 4 dozen chocolate kisses

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using electric mixer, cream, Crisco, sugars until fluffy. Add egg, extracts; beat well. Add flour, baking powder, salt, nuts; mix until blended. Form dough into 1 inch balls. Press each ball around a kiss, so kiss is completely enclosed (like a chocolate covered cherry). Bake 12 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet. Do not overbake.
