1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans
1 (9 oz) package chocolate kisses
powdered sugar
Beat together butter, sugar and vanilla until creamy. Add flour gradually until well blended. Stir in pecans. Chill dough about 1 hour. Pre-heat oven to 375 F. Mold about 1 tablespoon of dough around each chocolate kiss, covering candy completely. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet until they just turn golden around the edges, about 10-15 minutes. Let cool slightly before removing from cookie sheet. Cool on wire racks. When completely cool, dust with powdered sugar. Store in airtight container.

Would make this again.
I have made these cookies many times and it is by far the easiest and most delicious cookie ever. My 8 year old daughter makes them by her self with and without the kiss. They can be made from start to finish in less than a half hour. I would recommend this recipe to everyone and anyone!!!

I wanted to make cookies for a bake sale fundraiser in my son's preschool.I didn't know what to make but I found this recipe and baked 2 batches for the first time. I individually wrapped the cookies and put them on the table with all the other baked goods. In 20 minutes, I sold ALL of them! The cookies were a big hit and everyone is asking for the recipe. I highly recommend this recipe.

All my children LOVED this recipe and they are the pickiest eaters I have ever seen! And it was so easy to make, I had no trouble with it at all. But don't ya'll worry, I'm making these cookies for my sister's Christmas Party!

I baked these cookies without the pecans for my two grandsons (5 and 3 years old). They said "These are winners"! They are coming over to bake them with me. They are dying to put the kisses inside. They are already my grown kids favorites.
