Ingredients

  • 1 box Red Velvet Cake Mix {13.25 ounces}
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup oil
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 20 Hershey Kisses {unwrapped}

Instructions

  • In a medium sized bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, eggs and vegetable oil. Mix using an electric mixer {or by hand} until you have a thick dough.
  • Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop dough and roll each cookie dough ball in sugar. Place the sugar coated cookie dough onto a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper {or wax paper}. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.
  • After an hour, preheat the oven to 350° and place 8 cookie dough balls onto a silicone mat {or parchment paper} lined baking sheet. Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes or until set.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. After 5 minutes, move the cookies to a cooling rack and place an unwrapped candy into the middle of each cookie. Allow the cookies to cool until the Hershey's Kisses have set back up and then serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Refrigerating the cookie dough is optional but will help to give you thicker cookies.
  • Add the unwrapped Hershey's Kiss after the cookies have baked and cooled for 5 minutes. If you add the Hershey's Kisses too soon the cookies will melt the chocolate.
  • Wait to move the cookies until the candy kiss has set back up, otherwise the shape of the candy may change.
  • Change up the kind of Hershey's kiss you add to the middle of the cookies.  Dark chocolate, milk chocolate and even peppermint would all be great choices.
