Notes
Important Tips:
Make sure you allow your cookie sheet to cool to room temperature between batches. Placing cookie dough on a warm cookie sheet will cause the dough to melt and spread.
Also, if you choose to use a Hug Kiss, the white chocolate melts very fast. Do not put them on the ball while cooking, wait till the cookies have cooled and then place on top, they will still push down enough. (I learned the hard way!)
