Mom's Chocolate Filled Bon-Bons

This is another simple cookie recipe that always finds its way in to Mom's Christmas selection.

  • 3/4 cup butter or shortening
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts (optional)
  • 48 milk chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Using an electric mixer, cream shortening and sugars until fluffy. Add egg and extracts and beat well.
  3. Add flour, baking powder, salt, nuts and mix well.
  4. Form into 1 inch balls. Press each ball around a kiss so kiss is completely covered (like a chocolate covered cherry).
  5. Bake 12 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet. Do not overbake. Cool on wire rack.
