Category: Cookies
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

1/2 cup butter, softened (no substitutes)
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg, separated
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1/3 cup baking cocoa
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup finely chopped nuts

Filling
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
1 tbsp butter, softened
2 tsp milk
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
26 milk chocolate kisses

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

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, lightly beat egg white. Shape dough into 1 inch balls; dip in egg white, then roll in nuts. Place on greased baking sheets. Make an indentation with thumb in center of each cookie. Bake at 350 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 tsp into each warm cookie; gently press a chocolate kiss in the center. Carefully remove from baking sheet to wire racks to cool.
