Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15.25 oz/430 g) strawberry cake mix
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
- 24 Hershey’s Kisses (unwrapped)
Instructions
- Preparation: Ignite oven to 350F (175C) and drape parchment paper across baking sheets.
- Dough Creation: Amalgamate strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract into a harmonious blend, ensuring uniform consistency without overmixing.
- Cookie Formation: Craft compact, symmetrical dough spheres and lavishly coat each in granulated sugar for a crystalline finish.
- Baking Process: Arrange sugar-encrusted orbs on prepared sheets with strategic spacing, then slide into preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until surfaces develop delicate fissures and edges solidify.
- Chocolate Embellishment: Upon extraction, swiftly nestle a Hersheys Kiss into the center of each molten cookie, leveraging residual warmth to gently anchor the chocolate.
- Cooling Technique: Allow cookies to stabilize on baking sheet for five minutes, then gracefully transition to wire rack for complete temperature equilibration and structural refinement.
Notes
- Precision in Dough: Measure ingredients exactly to maintain the perfect cookie texture and prevent spreading or crumbling.
- Handling Kisses Carefully: Remove chocolate kisses from refrigerator 10 minutes before placing them on warm cookies to prevent cracking.
- Sugar Coating Technique: Roll dough balls evenly in sugar for consistent caramelization and a beautiful sparkling appearance.
- Temperature Control: Allow cookies to cool completely before storing to preserve their soft, delicate structure and prevent moisture buildup.
