And they couldnt be cuter.
Thats why Im a big fan of these 4-ingredient strawberry kiss cookies.
Thanks to aboxed cake mix, theres zero measuring is required.

Quick Tips
The soft and chewy texture of these cookies relies on not over-mixing or over-baking them.
I like to pull them out before the edges start to turn brown.
Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, add the strawberry cake mix, egg, and butter.
Use a silicone or rubber spatula to mix the dough just until it all comes together.
Be careful not to overmix to avoid a rubbery texture.

Spray the inside of a small, 1-tablespoon cookie scoop with nonstick baking spray.
Portion out the dough and place each ball 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
Do not overbake or they will start to turn brown.
While the cookies are still hot, carefully press a Hersheys Kiss into the center of each cookie.
You want to create a little dip as you press the Kiss down into the cookie.
Allow the cookies to cool right on the pan; they will continue to cook.
You dont have to let them cool completely, thoughtheyre great warm.
Set them out on the counter to thaw when youre ready to eat them.
Flavor Variations
This recipe acts as a great base with lots of room for creativity.
The dough is pretty sticky, and its okay if some of it sticks to your hands.
This trick works great for rice crispy treats, too.
