Mixing and Baking
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, melted butter, and egg. Stir until smooth, resembling a thick batter.
  2. Add the softened cream cheese to the dough and fold it in until fully incorporated for a creamy consistency.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  5. Once chilled, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls. Optionally, roll in powdered sugar or pink granulated sugar.
  6. Place the cookie balls on prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, with edges set and centers soft.
  8. Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes, then gently press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie.
  9. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
