Lemon Kiss Cookies

1 1/2 cups butter
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 3/4 cups flour
1 1/2 cups almonds, chopped
1 (14 ounce) package milk chocolate candy kisses
powdered sugar
1 tablespoon shortening
1/2 cup chocolate chips

In large bowl beat butter, sugar and lemon juice untill light and fluffy.
Add flour and almonds; beat at slow speed untill well mixed.
Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour for easier handling.
Heat oven to 375°F.
Shape a tablespoon full of dough around each chocolate kiss, covering it completly.
Roll in hand to form ball.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 8-12 minutes or until set and the edges are lightly, golden brown.
After removing from oven allow to partially cool on baking sheet until firm enough to lift (about 10 minutes) then cool on racks completely.
Lightly dust cookies with powdered sugar.
In small pan, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth.
Drizzle over each cookie.
