Divide dough in half, wrap in non-stick plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 hours or until firm. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Roll teaspoonfuls of dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until cookies just begin to crack. Remove from oven and immediately press one chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. Cool one minute, then remove from cookie sheets to cool completely. Draw rim around edge of each cookie with orange icing, as well as around each chocolate candy.
