  4. Using a glass coated with cooking spray or your hand (I just use my fingers), lightly flatten the balls into a circle. Using your thumb or the back of a 1/4 teaspoon measuring spoon, create a dent in the center of each cookie.
  5. Bake in preheated 350 oven 10-12 minutes. Remove to rack and cool.

Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until thick and bubbly. Or, use a double boiler. Let cool 5 minutes. Spoon 1/2 t. curd into dent of each cookie.
