These cookies already look delicious on the outside…
and then there is a chocolate surprise on the inside!

You will need:

• 1 package yellow cake mix with pudding in the mix
• ½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 cup ground pecans
• 36 milk chocolate kiss candies, unwrapped
• powdered sugar

What to do:

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees
2. Beat half of cake mix and butter in large bowl with electric mixer at high speed until blended. Add egg yolk and remaining cake mix; beat at medium speed just until dough forms. Stir in pecans.
3. Shape rounded tablespoonfuls dough around each candy, making sure candy is completely covered. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
4. Bake 20 minutes or until firm and golden brown. Cool on cookie sheets 10 minutes.
5. Place waxed paper under wire racks. Remove cookies to racks; dust with powdered sugar.

(Makes 3 dozen cookies)
