In a mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar, egg yolk, milk and vanilla until
light and fluffy. Combine flour, cocoa and salt; gradually add to
creamed mixture. Cover and chill 1 hour or until firm enough to roll
into balls. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, lightly beat egg white. Shape
dough into 1-in. balls; dip in egg white, then roll in nuts. Place on
greased baking sheets. Make an indentation with thumb in center of
each cookie. Bake at 350’F for 10-12 minutes or until center is set.
Combine the first four filling ingredients in a small bowl; mix until
smooth. Spoon 1/4 teaspoon into each warm cookie, gently press a
chocolate kiss in the center. Carefully remove from baking sheet to
wire racks to cool. Yield: about 2 dozen.
