Soft, chewy, and delightfully pink, these Strawberry Kiss Cookies combine the fruity flavor of strawberry cake mix with the creamy sweetness of a Hershey’s Kiss for the perfect festive treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box strawberry cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 24 Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
  • 1 teaspoon strawberry extract (optional, for stronger flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until smooth and thick.
  3. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and coat each lightly in powdered sugar.
  4. Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
  6. Immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each warm cookie.
  7. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the dough to maintain a soft texture.
  • Chill dough for 10–15 minutes if it feels too sticky or warm.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze baked cookies for up to 2 months; thaw before serving.
  • For extra flavor, drizzle melted white chocolate over cooled cookies.
