Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 (16 oz) bag Funfetti sugar cookie mix
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 large egg

Coating and Topping

  • ½ cup pink or white sanding sugar or non-pareils
  • 18 Hershey’s Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Kisses

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine the Funfetti sugar cookie mix, softened cream cheese, and egg. Stir thoroughly until a soft, uniform dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Prepare Coating: Pour the pink or white sanding sugar or non-pareils into a shallow bowl for easy access when coating the dough balls.
  4. Shape Cookies: Using a 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the dough, then roll each portion in the sanding sugar or non-pareils to coat evenly. Shape them into smooth, round balls for uniform baking.
  5. Chill Dough if Needed: If the dough feels too sticky to handle, place it in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes to firm up, which will make rolling easier.
  6. Arrange for Baking: Place the coated cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them approximately 1½ inches apart to give room for spreading.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 12 minutes. Bake until the edges are set but the centers remain soft to maintain a chewy texture.
  8. Add Toppings: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool for 3 to 5 minutes. Then gently press one Hershey’s Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Kiss into the center of each cookie while still warm.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough makes it easier to shape and helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
  • Substitute the Funfetti sugar cookie mix with your favorite sugar cookie mix if unavailable.
  • For a different flavor twist, try using other Hershey’s Kiss flavors as toppings.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easiest clean-up and cookie removal.
