  4. Roll the cookie dough into 1 inch balls, like you are making meat balls, roll them in sugar and place them on a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray about 2 inches apart.

  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately insert the kisses in the center of the cookies. (Press them down firmly – you will see the edges of the cookies crack as you insert them)
  7. Remove the cookies from the cookie sheet to a wire rack to cool. (It takes quite a long time for the inside of the kisses to cool to the point they are solid again)
