Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookies:
- 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar for rolling (optional)
For Assembly:
- 24 Hershey’s Kisses (milk chocolate or strawberry-flavored)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Shape the Cookies: If desired, roll the dough into 1-inch balls and coat lightly in powdered sugar. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cookies are set but still soft.
- Add the Kisses: Remove from the oven and immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Chill the Kisses in the freezer for 10–15 minutes beforehand to help them hold their shape when pressed into the warm cookies.
- You can substitute different Kiss flavors depending on the season or preference.
