Lemon Kiss Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 cups butter, softened
    3/4 cup white sugar
    1 tablespoon lemon extract
    2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
    1 1/2 cups chopped almonds
    60 milk chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped
    1/3 cup confectioners' sugar for decoration
    3 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate
    2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Preparation
    In large bowl, beat butter, 3/4 cup sugar and lemon extract until light and fluffy. Add flour and almonds; beat at low speed until well blended. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour for easier handling.
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
    Shape scant tablespoons dough around each kiss, covering completely. Roll in hands to form ball. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 8-12 minutes until set and bottom edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove to rack and cool completely. Sprinkle cookies with confectioners' sugar.
    In small pan, melt chocolate squares and stir in oil until smooth. Drizzle over each cookie.
