Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 box Red Velvet Cake Mix (any brand)
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted or softened
- 30 Hershey’s Kisses unwrapped (use your favorites: Hugs, Almond, Plain, Caramel, Cookies 'n Cream, etc.)
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silpat baking mats.
- In a bowl, mix together cake mix, eggs, and butter using a hand mixer or stir by hand until a thick dough forms.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon sized balls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets. Chill for at least 30 minutes to prevent excessive spreading.
- Bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the tops just start to crack. It's better to slightly underbake them. Immediately press a Hershey's Kiss onto the top of each warm cookie. Let cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
Notes
These cookies are designed to be simple and quick, utilizing cake mix for convenience. The addition of Hershey's Kisses creates a delightful "blossom" effect. For best results, do not overbake.
