 Preheat oven to 300 F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet.

 In medium bowl, beat egg whites with salt until soft peaks form.
 Gradually add sugar, beating continuously, until stiff peaks form. By

 300 F for 7 minutes or until set. Remove from oven and immediately
 gently press a candy kiss in center of each cookie. Return to oven
 and bake an additional 8 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on
 cookie sheet for 1 minute, then remove to wire racks to cool. Makes
 16 cookies.
