1 large egg
→ Decoration
04 -
1/2 cup pink or white sanding sugar or nonpareils

18 pieces Hershey’s Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Kisses, unwrapped
# How to Make It:
01 -
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 375°F.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to combine the sugar cookie mix, softened cream cheese, and egg until a soft dough forms.
03 -
Pour pink or white sanding sugar or nonpareils into a shallow bowl.
04 -
Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop, portion dough and drop each ball into the bowl of sugar or nonpareils.
05 -
Roll each dough ball gently in the sugar or nonpareils until coated, then shape into a smooth, even ball.
06 -
If dough is too sticky to handle, chill in the refrigerator or freezer for 30 to 60 minutes to firm slightly before shaping. This step is optional but aids in handling.
07 -
Place coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 1 1/2 inches apart.
08 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the cookie edges are set.
09 -
Allow cookies to cool for 3 to 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then gently press an unwrapped Strawberry Kiss into the top of each cookie.
10 -
Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, or serve slightly warm.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Chilling the dough is optional but recommended if it is too sticky to work with.
