2/3 c sugar
1 t vanilla extract
1 2/3 c flour
1/4 c cocoa
1 c finely chopped pecans
9-oz package Hershey's Kisses, unwrapped

 In large mixing bowl, cream butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. In small mixing bowl, combine flour and cocoa; blend into creamed mixture. Add nuts; beat on low speed of electric mixer until well blended. Chill dough for 1 hour or until firm enough to handle.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Mold a tablespoon of dough around each unwrapped kiss, covering candy completely. Shape into balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until almost set. Cool slightly, remove from cookie sheet onto wire rack. Cool completely. Roll in confectioners' sugar. Makes about 4 1/2 dozen cookies.
