Strawberry Kiss Cookies 💖
These delightful Strawberry Kiss Cookies are a perfect treat for Valentine's Day or any sweet occasion. Made with a simple strawberry cake mix base, they are soft, chewy, and topped with a creamy strawberry ice cream cone kiss, offering a burst of fruity flavor in every bite.
Equipment
- Hand or stand mixer
- Spacious bowl
- Baking Sheets
- Parchment Paper
- 1-Tablespoon cookie scoop
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 box strawberry cake mix 15¼ Ounces
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 egg at room temperature
- 36 strawberry ice cream cone kisses unwrapped
Instructions
- 1. Prep the Mix: In a spacious bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to effortlessly blend the softened butter, cream cheese, and egg until the mixture is beautifully smooth and creamy.
- 2. Form the Dough: Gently beat in the strawberry cake mix until all ingredients are perfectly combined and the dough comes together without any dry patches. This ensures a consistent, soft texture.
- 3. Chill Time: Pop your lovely dough into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This quick chill makes the dough much easier to handle and shape into perfect cookies.
- 4. Get Ready to Bake: While your dough chills, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup a breeze!
- 5. Shape and Coat: Scoop the chilled dough using a 1-Tablespoon cookie scoop to create small, uniform balls. Gently roll each ball in powdered sugar until it's nicely coated, then place them on your prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between each one for even baking.
- 6. Bake to Perfection: Bake for just 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly set. Remember, these cookies are designed to stay wonderfully soft!
- 7. Add the Kiss: As soon as you remove the cookies from the oven, immediately and gently press a strawberry ice cream cone kiss into the center of each warm cookie.
- 8. Cool & Enjoy: Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets. This allows the kisses to set properly and the cookies to firm up, ensuring they hold their perfect shape before you serve or store your delightful treats.
