Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Kiss Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Funfetti sugar cookie mix, softened cream cheese, and the large egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. If the dough is too sticky, refrigerate for 30–60 minutes to make shaping easier.
  4. Pour the sanding sugar into a shallow bowl for coating.
  5. Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough and roll into balls, then coat in sanding sugar.
  6. Place the cookie balls on the baking sheet, spaced 1½ inches apart.
  7. Bake for 8–12 minutes, until the edges are set but centers remain soft.
  8. Cool for 3–5 minutes, then gently press a Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie.
  9. Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
