1/2 c. butter (not butter)
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/4 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
1 2/3 c. unsifted flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
36 chocolate kisses, unwrapped
36 pecan halves

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cream butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and egg in large bowl at medium speed. (I do mine by hand.) Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir into creamed mixture. Press two level measuring teaspoons dough around each kiss, covering kiss completely. Place pecan half on top of each. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 6 to 7 minutes. Cookies will not brown. Do not overbake. Gently press pecans into hot cookies. Cool on baking sheet 1 minute. Remove to cooling racks. 3 dozen.
