How to Make Kissin Cousins
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, ½ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 cup chopped pecans.
- Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- While the dough chills, unwrap one 12-ounce bag of Hershey's Kisses.
- Roll one scant tablespoon of dough into a ball around each chocolate kiss, ensuring the kiss is completely enclosed.
- Place the dough balls onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the bottoms are lightly golden brown.
- Carefully remove the cookies from the baking sheets.
- Let them cool on wire racks for 10 minutes.
- Gently roll the warm cookies in powdered sugar.
- Once completely cool, roll in powdered sugar again for extra sweetness.
