Ingredients

14.25 ounces Betty Crocker White Cake Mix
1/3 cup Melted Butter {Vegetable or Canola Oil can be substituted}
2 large Eggs
2 ounces Red Sugar Sprinkles
34 Candy Cane Hershey's Kisses

Instructions

Combine Cake Mix, Melted Butter {or oil}, and Eggs in large mixing bowl, and mix with hand mixer or stand mixer until well combined.
Cover dough and chill in refrigerator for 2 hours.
Unwrap Hershey Kisses and set aside.
Add Red Sugar sprinkles to bowl, and set aside.
After dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll dough into small tablespoon sized balls, then roll around in red sugar bowl. {I left about half of my cookies plain without red sugar sprinkles, and rolled the other half in the red sugar… just for a fun variety}
Transfer dough balls to cookie sheet. {do not flatten}
Bake on center oven rack for 7 – 13 minutes, or until done. {Note: Bake on the shorter end of the time range for non-stick cookie sheets & longer end of the time range for aluminum cookie sheets}
Immediately after removing from oven, carefully place a Candy Cane Hershey Kiss in the center of each cookie, and gently push down.
Allow cookies to cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to finish cooling, and ENJOY!
