Can you imagine anything better to ring in the new year than surprise chocolate in a cookie? I didn’t think so. Try these for the party!

From: Hershey’s Cookbook, by The Hershey Company, 2009

(Makes 3 dozen cookies)

Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened

½ cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup finely chopped walnuts or almonds

36 Hershey’s Kisses Milk Chocolates or Hershey’s Kisses Milk Chocolates with Almonds

Powdered Sugar

Beat butter, granulated sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed in large bowl until fluffy. Add flour and walnuts; beat on low speed of mixer until well blended. Cover; refrigerate 1 to 2 hours or until dough is firm enough to handle.
Remove wrappers from chocolates. Heat oven to 375°F. Using about 1 tablespoon dough for each cookie, shape dough around each chocolate; roll in hand to make ball. (Be sure to cover each chocolate piece completely.) Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies are set but not browned. Cool slightly; remove to wire rack. While still slightly warm, roll in powdered sugar. Cool completely. Store in tightly covered container. Roll again in powdered sugar just before serving.

Variation: Sift together 1 tablespoon Hershey’s cocoa with 1/3 cup powdered sugar. Roll warm cookies in cocoa mixture.
