Ingredients
  

For the Cookies:

  • Strawberry cake mix – The shortcut to the best strawberry flavor.
  • All-purpose flour – Helps keep the cookies soft and chewy.
  • Vegetable oil – Adds moisture for the perfect texture.
  • Eggs – Helps bind the dough together.
  • Milk – Ensures a smooth soft dough.
  • Granulated sugar – For rolling adding a touch of crispness.
  • Hershey Kisses – The chocolatey center that makes these cookies extra special!

Instructions
 

Mix the Dough:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil and eggs until smooth.
  • Add the strawberry cake mix and flour, mixing until combined.
  • Stir in the milk until a soft cookie dough forms.

Shape & Roll:

  • Scoop the dough into small balls (about 2 tablespoons each).
  • Roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat.
  • Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.

Bake:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper and place dough balls 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the cookies look set.

Add the Hershey’s Kiss:

  • Remove cookies from the oven and immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each one.
  • Let the cookies cool completely so the chocolate firms up.

Cool & Enjoy:

  • Transfer cookies to a wire rack and allow them to cool before storing or serving!

Notes

  • Chill the Dough – This keeps the cookies from spreading too much!
  • Don’t Overbake – The cookies will look soft when they come out but will firm up as they cool.
  • Try Different Kisses – Use white chocolate, dark chocolate, or even peanut butter cups for fun variations!
  • Storage – Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
