Add in the flour in 3 additions. Scrape the bottom and side of bowl as needed.3. Place extra granulated sugar on a plate. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and roll in the sugar.4. Place coated dough balls on the parchment-lined sheets. Bake cookies until the are a very light golden color, about 10 minutes. (Meanwhile, unwrap the kisses.)5.
