How to Make Strawberry Kiss Cookies

In a large bowl, mix the strawberry cake mix, melted butter, and egg until smooth.
Incorporate the softened cream cheese into the mixture, stirring until fully blended.
Cover the dough tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.
Place cookie balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes.
Let cookies rest for 1-2 minutes, then press a chocolate kiss into each center.
Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
