beat in eggs one at a time. Reduce to low speed and add dry

line cookie sheets with foil. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll dough
into very small balls (about 1/2 teaspoon per ball). Place 2 inches

still on pan, place half a candy piece on each cookie. Remove to waxed
paper, wait about a minute and swirl the candy pieces across top of
