Snowballs

2 sticks butter softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups sifted flour
1 cup finely chopped walnuts (or pecans)
8 oz chocolate kisses
powered sugar for dusting

Cream butter & sugar well, until smooth.  Add flour, then nuts.  Gather dough into dish shape and wrap in plastic, refrigerate at least 1/2 hour.  Preheat oven to 350.  Remove foil from kisses and insert one inside a ball of dough 1" diameter, Make sure each kiss is completely covered by dough.  Bake on ungreased baking sheet for about 12 minutes until just cooked through.  Sift over powder sugar while still warm.

Haven't made these in several years but everybody always loved them.  From Susan Branch --Christmas Joy book.
