In electric mixer, cream Crisco and sugars till fluffy. Add eggs and extracts; beat well. Add flour, baking powder, salt and nuts; mix until blended. Form dough into 1-inch balls. Press each ball around a kiss, so kiss is completely enclosed. Bake at 350 for 12 minutes. When cool, ice tops and decorate. Makes 3 1/2 dozen. Use ungreased cookie sheets.
