Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir until a soft, uniform dough forms.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and coat each ball in powdered sugar.
Arrange the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes, then gently press a chocolate kiss into the center of each one.
Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Optionally, dust with more powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Swap chocolate kisses with white chocolate or cookies and cream varieties for a twist.

Add lemon zest to the dough for a citrusy flavor.

Use colored sanding sugar instead of powdered sugar for a festive touch.

Mix mini chocolate chips into the dough for extra chocolate.

Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft.

Microwave for about 5 seconds to slightly melt the kiss when serving.

Freeze baked cookies or dough balls for up to 2 months.
