2cupsall-purpose flour, weigh or measure with a light hand(250 grams)
½cupfinely chopped nuts -- optional
1teaspoonvanilla
32eachHershey's Kisses or Dove Chocolates
Chocolate Topping
2ozsemisweet chocolate chips56 grams
1teaspoonvegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In medium saucepan, combine chocolate chips and butter stirring over very low heat until chips are melted and smooth.
Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla to chocolate mixture and mix well. Add chocolate mixture to flour and mix well. You can do this all in the saucepan or you can scrape the chocolate mixture into a bowl and stir in the flour.
Let cool slightly, then shape 1 tablespoon of dough around each candy, covering it completely. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. I recommend lining with parchment, but you don't have to.
Bake at 350° for 6 to 8 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cookies will be soft and appear shiny but will become firm as they cool. Remove from cookie sheets. Cool 15 minutes or until completely cooled.
Chocolate Topping
Melt 2 oz of chocolate chips in a small saucepan with 1-teaspoon vegetable oil and stir until smooth. Dip just the top of the treat in the melted chocolate and set on rack to cool and firm chocolate.
