    How to Make Strawberry Kiss Cookies

    1. Begin by combining the dry strawberry cake mix, butter, and egg in a large bowl. 
    2. Next, add in the cream cheese and mix until well incorporated. 
    3. Cover the bowl and chill the cookie dough. 
    4. Take the wrappers off of the chocolate kisses and place the sanding sugar in a small bowl. 
    5. Once the dough is chilled, roll it into balls and then roll each ball in the sanding sugar. 
    6. Bake as directed. 
    7. When the cookies are done, let them cool for about 2 minutes before pressing a chocolate kiss into the center of each one. 

    Tips For for Making Cookies

    Whisk or electric mixer

    Depending on the recipe, you may need a whisk or an electric mixer to combine the ingredients. You will find that a hand or stand mixer will work the dough quicker. 

    Baking sheets

    You will need baking sheets to place the cookies on for baking. I like to use parchment paper or silicone baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking to the pan. 

    Tips for Making Kiss Cookies

    Softened Cream Cheese 

    You need to make sure your cream cheese is softened to mix it up. Otherwise, the cookies will not combine properly. 

    Placing Hershey Kiss on Cookies

    Make sure to allow the cookies to cool a bit before you place the Hershey's Kiss on top. Otherwise, it will fully melt the Kiss on top of the cookies. 2-4 minutes is all you need to wait. 

    Variations to Cookie Recipe

    Cake Mix 

    Use any flavor of cake mix you would like. From chocolate to vanilla cake mix. Just use the cake mix you prefer in terms of flavor. 

    Skip Sugar 

    Skip rolling the cake mix cookies in sugar. This is going to skip the sweet sugar topping on the cookies. You can place the cookies on the baking sheet and bake the same without the sugar. 

    Powdered Sugar 

    Instead of granulated sugar use powdered sugar instead. This will be more of a crinkle sugar cookie instead. Which is delicious and you can still top with a chocolate. 

    Hershey Topping 

    Use any flavor of Hershey Kiss flavored chocolates. You can use a holiday flavored chocolate or a twist of white and milk chocolate from a Hugs Hershey Kiss. 

    Strawberry Kiss Cookies FAQs

    Do the Hershey kisses go on the cookies before or after baking? 

    The Hershey kisses are placed in the center of the cookies after baking. If you placed them on before cooking they would melt. 

    Can I use a different type of chocolate instead of Hershey kisses?

    Yes, you can use a different type of chocolate in place of Hershey kisses, such as other larger sized pieces of chocolate. Dove chocolates would be a great topper in replace. 

    Can I freeze the cookies?

    Yes, you can freeze the cookies in an air-tight container for up to 3 months. Then when you are ready to eat simply thaw on the counter at room temperature.
