Preheat oven to 350. Shape dough into 1-inch balls.

Place balls 2 inches apart on un-greased cookie sheets.

Press an indentation into the center of each ball.

Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of jam into each indentation and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake about 10 minutes or until edges are light brown.

Cool on cookie sheets for 1 minute.

Transfer cookies to wire racks to finish cooling.

Add enough of the remaining water to make a drizzling consistency. Drizzle cookies with icing.
