Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix vegetable oil and eggs until well combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour and strawberry cake mix to the wet ingredients. Stir until fully combined.
Add the milk to the dough and mix until it forms a cookie dough.
Scoop dough into balls using a #30 cookie scoop or 2 tablespoons. Roll each ball in granulated sugar.
Cover the bowl with dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Place dough balls on baking sheets and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Keep remaining dough chilled while baking.
Immediately after baking, gently press a Hershey Kiss into the center of each cookie.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill the dough before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
If you don’t have Hershey Kisses, you can substitute with chocolate hearts, Brach’s chocolate stars, or Dove chocolates.
For a different flavor, swap the strawberry cake mix with red velvet, lemon, or chocolate cake mix.
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
