Instructions

Combine all ingredients except candy in a large mixer bowl. Mix on lowest speed of mixer until dough forms. Shape dough into balls, using a rounded teaspoonful for each. Roll balls in sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes.
Top each cookie immediately with a candy kiss. Press down firmly so cookie cracks around the edge.

Notes

* Butter makes it more flavorful.
