Christmas Kisses

This is one of my Favorite Christmas Cookie recipes, I have tried others like this one, but, they just don't measure up. I think you will find that this recipe makes a soft, tender cookie. The kiss rests on the cookie while it bakes, slightly changing it's texture and taste.

If you already make these, try this recipe, I'll be you like it better too.

Christmas Kisses

3/4 Cup butter
1/2 Cup sugar
1 3/4 cup flour
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt

2 lightly beaten egg whites
1 cup finely chopped nuts
Chocolate Kisses (Candy)

Cream butter and sugar, add egg yolks, vanilla and salt and beat till well combined, gradually add flour, mixing well to form a soft dough, roll into balls about the size of walnuts, dip into beaten egg whites and roll into chopped nuts,  Place one chocolate kiss in the center of each cookie and press down to flatten slightly, bake for 15 minutes in 350F.
