  1                Teaspoon  Vanilla

  1 3/4          Cups  Flour

  1                Cup  Nuts -- finely chopped

Cream oleo in mixer; add sugar and vanilla.         Gradually beat in flour and cocoa. Add nuts. Beat on low speed until well distributed.  Chill. Meanwhile unwrap the kisses.  Shape a scant tablespoon or  less of dough around each kiss, covering it  completely.  (I found if you press the point into the dough and then cover the kiss, it is easier to shape).  Roll each between your palms to form a ball.  Place a few inches apart on Pam sprayed tinfoil lined cookie sheets.  Bake at 375 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes.  Cool slightly. Remove with spatula to wire racks to cool completely.  If desired just before serving  dust with powdered sugar.  (It’s not really necessary as cookies are sweet enough.).
