Preparation

Melt chocolate chips in the microwave.

Stir in gradually.
You may have to chill for a little while to make it easy to shape into balls.
Shape into balls and roll in sugar.

Bake with oven rack in the middle or at the top level in oven.
If you bake them too close to the burner, the bottoms of the cookies will burn.
