Secret Kiss Cookies

"I made some slight adjustments due to what I had on hand and what I wanted to do with them. They are as follows: I finely chopped nuts from a 'mixed nuts' canister instead of using pricy pecans only. I rolled these in granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar b/c we prefer the texture of the granulated sugar over the super-sweet powdered version. Overall, this was an excellent recipe. The cookie isn't terribly sweet without the powdered sugar, but the chocolate kiss inside makes up for that, and it has already become a family favorite!"
