Ingrédients
  

For the Cookie Dough

  • 17.5 ounces sugar cookie mix
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg Room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Room temperature
  • 3/4 teaspoon green gel food coloring

For Topping

  • 18 Hershey’s Kisses Unwrapped
  • 18 large heart-shaped candy sprinkles

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Gather all your ingredients and measure out the sugar cookie mix, flour, egg, butter, food coloring, and Hershey's Kisses.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F and prepare your mini muffin pan by lightly spraying it with baking spray or lining with paper liners.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and green gel food coloring until uniform in color.

Mixing the Dough

  • In a large bowl, combine the sugar cookie mix, all-purpose flour, and unsalted butter. Use a handheld mixer on low speed to mix in the green egg mixture for 2 to 3 minutes until a thick dough forms.

Shaping the Cookies

  • Using a 1½-inch cookie scoop, take 1½ tablespoons of dough and flatten it into a 3-inch disc.
  • Place a Hershey’s Kiss upright in the center of the flattened dough and wrap the sides around the candy, shaping the dough into a ball.
  • Arrange the dough balls in the prepared mini muffin pan, ensuring each Hershey's Kiss remains upright.

Baking

  • Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Watch closely to avoid overbaking; they should be set but not browned.
  • Immediately add one heart-shaped candy sprinkle on top of each cookie after removing from the oven.
  • Allow the cookies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
