milk chocolate kisses with almonds
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl beat butter and almond butter with electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Beat until combined, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat in egg, milk, and vanilla until combined. Beat in whole wheat flour and as much of the all-purpose flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour.
2. In a shallow dish combine 3 tablespoons sugar and ground almonds. Shape dough in 1-inch balls. Roll balls in sugar mixture to coat. Place balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are firm and tops are cracked. Remove from oven; immediately press a chocolate kiss in the center of each cookie. Transfer to wire rack. Cool. Makes 48 to 60 cookies.

Thanks for the great reviews! It is my original creation! It¿s fun to read how much people like it. The link below (from my alma mater) tells about when I made them for the 1st time. Although I was misquoted, in that the recipes I come up with rarely ever come out the same; that's only if I make something, I don't make it again for a long time and I don't write it down! http://www.houghton.edu/Milieu/Fall07/alumnas_recipe_awardwinning.htm
12/14/2011 11:04:56 PM Report AbuseLoved this recipe! I used the milk chocolate kisses because that is what I had on hand and they were good. Next time I'll use the almond kisses. I loved the wheat/all-purpose flour mixture...it created a wonderful flavor that goes perfectly with the almond taste. I found a jar of almond butter at my local warehouse store (Costco) that was priced very well. I will definitely be adding this recipe to my cookie routine!

12/26/2009 08:12:24 PM Report AbuseI made these for friends visiting and got rave reviews. I loved them better than any cookie I have ever eaten and I am adventurous! The almond butter is in the health food section of our grocery store and a bit pricey, so only for special occasions. Friends have used the recipe since. Splurge once for a special holiday. If you are an almond lover, you will not regret it. I prefer the DARK CHOCOLATE KISSES now available. It doesn't get any better than this!!!
