Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box strawberry cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup (79 milliliters) vegetable oil
Secondary Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping:
- 24 chocolate kisses (unwrapped)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350F (175C) and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie baking.
- Whisk together strawberry cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a spacious mixing bowl until the mixture transforms into a uniform, silky consistency.
- Craft uniform dough spheres approximately 1-inch in diameter, positioning them carefully on the prepared baking surface with adequate spacing.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, watching for cookies to set without developing excessive browning.
- Immediately upon removing from the oven, gently nestle a chocolate kiss into the center of each warm, soft cookie, creating a delectable focal point.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to stabilize their structure, then delicately transfer to a wire cooling rack for complete cooling and chocolate kiss solidification.
Notes
- Prevent sticking by using a light coating of cooking spray on your hands when rolling dough balls for easier shaping.
- Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes before baking to help cookies maintain a rounder shape and prevent excessive spreading.
- For a gluten-free version, swap the strawberry cake mix with a gluten-free alternative and ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free.
- Store chocolate kisses at room temperature before pressing into warm cookies to prevent cracking and ensure smooth, glossy appearance.
