Delightful soft and chewy cookies with a vibrant exterior, perfect for sharing on Valentine’s Day or any special occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (16 oz) bag of Funfetti sugar cookie mix
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup pink or white sanding sugar or non-pareils
- 18 Hershey’s Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Kisses
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the Funfetti sugar cookie mix with softened cream cheese and the egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- In a shallow bowl, pour the sanding sugar or non-pareils.
- Using a 1½ tablespoon scoop, scoop the dough and roll it in the sugar or non-pareils to coat. Shape the dough into smooth balls.
- If the dough feels too sticky, chill it in the fridge for 30 to 60 minutes to make it easier to work with.
- Arrange the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 1½ inches apart.
- Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, until the edges are set while the centers remain soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool for 3 to 5 minutes, then gently press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie.
- Cool completely or enjoy them warm right out of the oven.
Notes
