Spread slightly beaten egg white over balls with pastry brush. Place on ungreased baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake in 350 degree oven about 10 inutes. Take sheet partially out of oven and make a small depression on top of each cookie with the tip of a teaspoon. Return to oven and bake for 5 minutes longer. When taken from oven, remove cookies from the sheet immediately. When cooled, place a small amount of frosting in each depression. Makes about 30 to 35 small cookies.
