Chocolate Kiss Cookies
These soft and creamy chocolate kiss cookies are made with a cake mix and cream cheese base, rolled in sugar or sprinkles for extra texture and color, and topped with a chocolate kiss. They’re a quick and easy treat perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box chocolate cake mix
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar or sprinkles for coating
- 36 chocolate kisses unwrapped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, butter, and egg until smooth. Stir in the chocolate cake mix until a soft dough forms.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Roll the ball in granulated sugar or sprinkles until coated.
- Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 7–9 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers look slightly soft.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. The warm cookie will slightly melt the base of the kiss, helping it stick.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet. Do not move the trays until the kisses have firmed up again to prevent them from becoming misshapen.
Notes
- Store the cookies in an airtight container in single layer or with parchment paper between layers to prevent the chocolate kisses from smudging for 4-5 days.
- The cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months. Keep in mind that the sprinkles may smudge or lose their color vibrancy when thawed, depending on the type used.
