1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
1 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 (6 ounce) package Hersheys Kisses (about 36)
Confectioners' sugar

Cream butter or margarine, sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl. Gradually add flour and nuts; beat on low speed until well blended. Chill dough for about one hour or until firm enough to handle.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Mold approximately 1 tablespoon 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.
