  • Roll dough into small balls, then roll in icing sugar. Place on ungreased baking sheets at least 2 inches apart. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Let cookies cool slightly on sheets, then remove them with a spatula and put them on racks to finish cooling.

Notes

NANAS NOTES:
These cookies are rich, chewy, and chocolatey. They spread a lot, so don't be tempted to put them closer together than recommended.  This makes 10-12 dozen based on how large you make the balls.
