Ingredients

Units Scale

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended and a dough forms.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat.
Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set but still soft in the center.
Immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie while they’re still warm.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

To prevent the Hershey’s Kisses from melting, place the cookies in the refrigerator for a few minutes after adding the Kisses.
For added texture, consider rolling the dough balls in colored sanding sugar instead of plain granulated sugar.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
