I was looking for a different kind of cookie that required some manipulating (for some reason, I was looking for more work than just put on a cookie sheet and put in the oven). This was perfect.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour
24 chocolate kisses
colored sugar, or just white
Preheat oven to 350.
Cream butter and white sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add vanilla, then salt and flour. Mix until just combined. The dough will be quite dry.
Form dough into 1 inch balls. Flatten the balls, put a chocolate kiss in the middle, and wrap dough around the chocolate. Form a ball again.
Roll in colored sugar.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the bottoms are JUST brown.

TIPS:
1. The author of this post recommended that the flour should be reduced so that it would be less crumbly. Accordingly, I used only 2 cups of flour. Unfortunately, I believe that this means that there will be too much butter. After I took the cookies out of the oven, the bottoms had started to melt away from the rest of the cookie, making very funny shapes (a large bulge at the top at then bottoms melting out). I would keep the 2 1/4 cups of flour and deal with the crumbliness. That way they will look a little more appealing.
2. Have a glass of milk or water nearby. These guys are killer.
