Take a small amount of dough and place a marshmallow in the center( roll into a ball). Roll the ball in the bowl of sugar and place on greased cookie sheet( if you use the teflon you don't need to grease). Bake 5 to 7 min at 350~F. You need to watch them carefully. The minute you see a single cookie crack, pull them all from the oven. Let them cool some before you remove from sheet. makes about 4 doz.
