To make a delicious cookie “Kisses”, the kneaded dough must be divided into many small pieces, and then rolled into round cakes with a diameter of 5 cm and a thickness of 0.5 cm. After that, each product should be soaked in fine sugar (on the one hand), folded four times and press lightly.
Having formed all the "kisses", they must be moved to a greased baking sheet or a sheet of cooking paper.

Filling a baking sheet with a gentle curd dessert, it should immediately be placed in a preheated oven. Baking cookies is recommended at a temperature of 190 degrees for 40 minutes. This time is enough to ensure that all products are fully cooked, become rosy and crispy.

After a short baking, all products should be carefully removed from the sheet and placed on a common plate. Serve dessert to the table preferably in a warm or still hot condition. In addition to home-made delicacy, you must bring black or green tea.
