Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 box strawberry cake mix (about 15.25 oz)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
- 24 Hershey’s Kisses (unwrapped)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and a dough forms. The dough should be thick.
- Shape the cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
- Bake the cookies: Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden.
- Add the Hershey’s Kiss: Once the cookies are out of the oven, immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie while they are still warm. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Serve and enjoy these soft, sweet, and chocolatey strawberry cookies!
Notes
- For a fun variation, you can use white chocolate Kisses or any other flavor of Hershey’s Kiss you prefer.
- If you don’t want the cookies to be too sweet, you can reduce the powdered sugar in the dough slightly.
- These cookies freeze well! Store them in an airtight container, and they’ll keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
