Lemon flavored cookies wrapped around a chocolate kiss and drizzled in chocolate. Yum-m-mmm!

Ingredients

1 ½ cups butter, softened
¾ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon extract
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups chopped almonds
60 milk chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped
⅓ cup confectioners' sugar for decoration
3 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate
2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Directions

1. In large bowl, beat butter, 3/4 cup sugar and lemon extract until light and fluffy. Add flour and almonds; beat at low speed until well blended. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour for easier handling.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3. Shape scant tablespoons dough around each kiss, covering completely. Roll in hands to form ball. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 8-12 minutes until set and bottom edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove to rack and cool completely. Sprinkle cookies with confectioners' sugar.
4. In small pan, melt chocolate squares and stir in oil until smooth. Drizzle over each cookie.
