Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Avoid placing dough on warm baking sheets.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, melted butter, and egg. Use a hand mixer or spatula to mix until smooth and pliable, ensuring there are no lumps.
- If desired, add a small drop of pink gel food coloring for a deeper color. Stir to combine evenly.
- Use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out dough, rolling each ball between your palms. Roll the dough in sugar until fully coated.
- Place dough balls on prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are set and the centers are slightly puffy. Avoid browning.
- As soon as the cookies are removed from the oven, press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie. Let cookies cool for at least 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
This easy recipe uses strawberry cake mix as the foundation, which simplifies the baking process while creating a soft, chewy cookie. The addition of a chocolate Hershey's Kiss gives each cookie a delicious, indulgent touch.
