- Add about 3 tablespoons of white sugar to a shallow bowl. Roll cookie into 1 inch balls. Roll each ball thoroughly in the white sugar.
- Place on baking pan at least 2 inches apart. These cookies spread slightly.

Cup of Yum
Notes
- Use cold butter right from the fridge. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too thin.
- Both regular all purpose flour and gluten free 1 to 1 flour work well. Do not use another flour.
- The cookie dough will be a little bit thick.
- Roll dough into equal size 1 inch balls.
- These cookies are soft and fragile after they bake.
- Immediately press the Hershey kiss into the middle of the cookie. Do not wait until they cool.
- Feel free to use another flavor of Hershey kiss.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Freeze for 1 month if needed.
