Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 16 oz bag Funfetti sugar cookie mix
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup pink or white sanding sugar or non-pareils
- 18 Hershey’s Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Kisses
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the Funfetti sugar cookie mix, softened cream cheese, and egg.
- Mix with a hand mixer or sturdy spatula until a soft, thick dough forms with no dry streaks.
- Place the sanding sugar or non-pareils in a shallow bowl.
- Scoop the dough into 1 1/2-tablespoon portions, roll each portion into a ball, then roll in the sanding sugar or non-pareils to coat.
- If the dough is too sticky to roll easily, chill it for 30 to 60 minutes, then continue scooping and coating.
- Arrange the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers are puffed but still soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Gently press a Hershey’s Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Kiss into the center of each warm cookie.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack and cool completely, or serve slightly warm.
Notes
- If baking from chilled dough, lean toward the longer end of the bake time.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- For neater tops, unwrap the Kisses before the cookies go into the oven so they are ready to press in quickly.
- You may have a couple of extra Kisses; choose the 16 best for topping or press extra into any larger cookies.
