Notes from the card

Sugar for rolling

The card says to roll the balls in sugar but doesn't set any aside for it. Keep a shallow bowl of granulated sugar on the side — a few tablespoons covers two dozen.

Press until it cracks

Set the Kiss on the hot cookie and press just hard enough that the edges crack around it. That crack is the whole look.
