How to make chocolate filled bonbons:

Preheat oven to 350°. Cream Crisco and sugars with electric mixer until fluffy. Add egg and extract and beat well. Add flour, baking powder, salt and nuts (optional). Mix until blended. Shape into 1-inch balls. Press each ball around a kiss (like chocolate covered cherry). Bake 12 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet. (Do not overbake.) Cool on wire racks. Frost or decorate as desired. Yields 3 1/2 to 4 dozen cookies.

Note: I usually color half dough green and half red. I dip red dough in green sugar and green in red sugar after forming balls with kisses.
