1 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 3/4 c. unsifted all-purpose flour
1 (6 oz.) pkg. chocolate kisses (about 36)
1 c. finely chopped walnuts
Confectioners' sugar

Cream butter, sugar and vanilla in large mixing bowl. Gradually add flour and nuts; beat on low speed until well blended. Chill dough about 1 hour or until firm enough to handle. Heat oven to 375 degrees.

Mold approximately 1 tablespoons of dough around an unwrapped chocolate kiss and roll to make a ball. Be sure to cover kiss completely. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 12 minutes or until cookies are set, but not brown.

Cool slightly; remove to wire rack. While still warm, roll in confectioners' sugar. Cool. Store in tightly covered container. Roll in sugar again before serving, if desired. Makes 36 cookies.
