Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box strawberry cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 13 cup (3 fluid ounces / 89 milliliters) vegetable oil
Garnish/Topping:
- Hersheys Kisses (unwrapped)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie preparation.
- Combine cake mix, oil, and eggs in a large mixing bowl, stirring until the mixture becomes a uniform, smooth dough.
- Shape the dough into compact, one-inch spherical portions, positioning them evenly across the baking sheet with approximately two inches between each cookie.
- Bake the cookies for 9-10 minutes, watching for slightly firm edges while maintaining a soft, tender center.
- Once removed from the oven, immediately nestle a Hersheys Kiss into the center of each warm, freshly baked cookie, allowing the chocolate to slightly melt and adhere.
- Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes to stabilize their structure.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack, permitting them to cool completely so the chocolate kiss can solidify and set into its final position.
- Serve the cookies either while still warm with a gooey chocolate center or after complete cooling for a firmer chocolate texture.
Notes
- Customize cake mix flavors like vanilla, strawberry, or chocolate to match your taste preferences.
- Ensure Kisses are unwrapped and ready before baking to quickly press them into warm cookies.
- Chill dough for 15-20 minutes if too soft, helping cookies maintain shape during baking.
- Use parchment paper or silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy cookie removal.
