These were excellent and fun to make with my best friend's 5 year old son. I followed the recipe exactly to the letter. I had made some others and didn't allow the dough to chill and had a rough time with it. This year, using this recipe, it was much easier! I like that the dough isn't too sweet, allowing the chocolate kiss to give almost all of the sweetness to the cookie. I also left the nuts out for one batch and they came out just as good.

My mom used to make these when I was little. When I asked her for the recipe - she remembered who had given it to her, but couldn't find the recipe. I was so glad to find it here! My one improvement/suggestion is that this recipe needs a little salt - just a pinch or 1/4 t or so - it brings a lot more depth to the walnuts and shortbread

The dough is not real sweet, but if you eat it altogether, the kiss makes it sweet! I thought they were good!

Absolutely Delish! I didn't have any margarine so i substituted with butter and it turned out fine. These cookies remind me of the Russian Tea Cake cookies that I love so much only they have a little surprise in the middle with the kiss, mmmm.

These came out great. A little TOO rich/ greasy for my liking but everyone else adored them. I used almond bits in stead of walnuts. They tasted great with the kiss inside!
