| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| 1. | In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, sugar, and lemon juice until light and fluffy. |
| 2. | Gradually add the flour to the mixture, along with almonds if desired, and beat at a slow speed until well mixed. |
| 3. | Cover the dough and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour to make it easier to handle. |
| 4. | Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). |
| 5. | Take a tablespoon full of dough and wrap it around each chocolate kiss, covering it completely to form a ball. |
| 6. | Roll the dough in your hands to ensure it forms a smooth ball. |
| 7. | Place the dough balls on an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving some space between each cookie. |
| 8. | Bake in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the edges are lightly golden brown. |
| 9. | Once removed from the oven, allow the cookies to cool partially on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes, until they are firm enough to lift. |
| 10. | Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. |
| 11. | Lightly dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for a sweet finish. |
| 12. | In a small pan, melt the chocolate chips and shortening together, stirring until smooth. |
| 13. | Drizzle the melted chocolate over each cookie for an extra touch of indulgence. |
