Ingredients
  

Cookie Mixture
  • 1 bag 16 oz Funfetti sugar cookie mix Can substitute with classic sugar cookie mix.
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened Ensure it's at room temperature for best results.
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup pink or white sanding sugar or non-pareils Used for rolling the cookie dough.
Topping
  • 18 pieces Hershey’s Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Kisses Can be substituted with other flavors.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the cookie mix, softened cream cheese, and egg until a soft dough forms.
  3. Pour the sanding sugar or non-pareils into a shallow bowl.
  4. Use a 1½ tablespoon scoop to portion the dough, roll it in sugar or non-pareils, and shape it into smooth balls.
  5. If the dough feels too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 30–60 minutes to make it easier to handle.
  6. Space the cookie balls about 1½ inches apart on the baking sheet.
Baking
  1. Bake for 8–12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
  2. Allow them to cool for 3–5 minutes, then gently press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie.
  3. Let the cookies cool completely, or enjoy them warm right out of the oven.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Dough balls can be frozen for up to 3 months. For the best texture, always use room temperature cream cheese.
