Description
These Strawberry Kiss Cookies are soft, chewy, and bursting with strawberry flavor, topped with a Hershey’s Kiss for a sweet and festive treat perfect for holidays, baby showers, or everyday fun.
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
- 24 Hershey’s Kisses (unwrapped)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls.
- Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar to coat.
- Place coated dough balls on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are set and tops are slightly cracked.
- Let cookies cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet.
- While still warm, gently press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie.
- Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely so the chocolate sets.
Notes
- Chill dough for 20–30 minutes if it’s too soft or sticky.
- Try different cake mix flavors or Hershey’s Kiss varieties for variation.
- To freeze, skip adding the Kiss until after thawing.
- Reheat in the microwave for 5–7 seconds for a freshly baked feel.
