Description

Strawberry Kiss Cookies are delightful, soft, and chewy treats featuring a burst of strawberry flavor and a sweet chocolate kiss at their center. They’re perfect for special occasions like Valentine’s Day or simply as a sweet indulgence. Here’s how you can make them


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box strawberry cake mix
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • Granulated sugar, for rolling
  • Approximately 22 Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:ย Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Prepare Wet Ingredients:ย In a large bowl, combine the vegetable oil and eggs. Mix until well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients:ย Gradually add the all-purpose flour and strawberry cake mix to the wet mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
  4. Incorporate Milk:ย Add the tablespoon of milk to the dough and mix until fully incorporated.
  5. Chill Dough:ย Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour. Chilling helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
  6. Form Cookies:ย Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons each). Roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat evenly.
  7. Bake:ย Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake one sheet at a time for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Add Hershey’s Kisses:ย Immediately upon removing the cookies from the oven, gently press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie. The heat from the cookie will slightly melt the chocolate, helping it adhere.
  9. Cool:ย Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Storage:ย Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Variations:ย Feel free to experiment with different flavors of cake mix or Hershey’s Kisses to create your own unique version of this cookie.
