Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Optional: Roll each ball in powdered sugar for a crinkle look.
Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cookies are set and slightly crackled on top.
Remove from the oven and immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

You can use white chocolate kisses, dark chocolate, or even the strawberry ice cream cone Kisses for an extra strawberry punch.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
These cookies freeze well—just leave the kisses off until after thawing and reheating slightly.
