Categories: Cookies, Snacks, Chocolate
     Yield: 30 servings

   1/2 c  Butter; softened
   2/3 c  Sugar
     1 lg Egg; separated, room temperature
     2 tb Milk
     1 ts Vanilla extract
     1 c  A-P flour
   1/3 c  Baking cocoa

MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
   1/2 c  Confectioners' sugar
     1 tb Butter; softened
     2 ts Milk
   1/4 ts Vanilla extract
    24    Milk chocolate kisses

 In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and
 fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in the egg yolk, milk and
 vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa and salt; gradually
 add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and
 refrigerate until easy to handle, about 1 hour.

 Set oven @ 350°F/175°C.

 In a small bowl, whisk egg white until foamy. Shape
 dough into 1-in. balls; dip in egg white, then roll in
 nuts. Place on greased baking sheets. Using a wooden
 spoon handle, make an indentation in center of each
 cookie. Bake until center is set, 10-12 minutes.

 For filling, combine the confectioners' sugar, butter,
 milk and vanilla; stir until smooth. Spoon or pipe 1/4
 teaspoon into each warm cookie; gently press a chocolate
 kiss in the center. Carefully remove from pans to wire
 racks to cool completely.
