In large bowl, beat butter, 3/4 cup sugar and lemon extract until light and fluffy. Add flour and almonds, beat at low speed until well blended. Cover, refrigerate at least 1 hour for easier handling.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Shape scant tablespoons dough around each kiss, covering completely. Roll in hands to form ball. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 8-12 minutes until set and bottom edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute, remove to rack and cool completely. Sprinkle cookies with confectioners' sugar.
In small pan, melt chocolate squares and stir in oil until smooth. Drizzle over each cookie.
