Ingredients
- 1 box strawberry cake mix
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 24 Hershey’s Kisses or other chocolate candies
- Optional: pink sanding sugar or sprinkles for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cake mix, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Scoop dough into 1-inch balls. If desired, roll in pink sugar or sprinkles.
- Place on baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, until cookies are set but still soft.
- Immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie after removing from the oven.
- Let cool on the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Chill the chocolate kisses in the freezer for 10 minutes before baking to help them keep their shape.
- Try white chocolate kisses, heart-shaped candies, or drizzle with melted chocolate for variation.
- Dough can be made up to 24 hours ahead and stored in the fridge.
- To freeze, bake cookies without kisses, freeze, and add chocolate after lightly reheating.
- Use gluten-free cake mix and certified gluten-free candies for a GF version.
