kisses.\u00a0 The recipe calls for 3 eggs.\u00a0 It&#8217;s best to beat the eggs then measure out half of it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RECIPE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Ingredients<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>For the

about an hour if you want to make it all on the same day.\u00a0 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.\u00a0 Have about 2 to 3 cups extra flour when working with the dough.\u00a0 It is very sticky.\u00a0 Use a generous amount of flour to dust, roll a handful of dough into a log.\u00a0 Cut into small pieces then roll into marble size balls.\u00a0 Bake for about 8 minutes.\u00a0 There should be no
