Kissed by a BonbonWhat could be more romantic than ending the day with a kiss—a chocolate one. The chocolate kiss is submerged in a cookie dough, a surprise inside a tiny, round bundle. The cookies freeze well.
Makes 3 dozen
3/4 cup vegetable shortening
Preheat the oven to 350F. Shape the batter into 36 1-inch balls. Press each ball around a chocolate kiss, covering completely. Arrange the bonbons on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until just starting to turn a light golden color. Cool slightly on wire racks. Roll the cookies in powdered sugar while still slightly warm, then cool completely before serving. From:
