Ingredients

  • 1 (15.25 ounce) box red velvet cake mix
  • 2 eggs
  • ⅓ cup oil
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 30 Hershey's Hugs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium size bowl, mix together the cake mix, eggs and oil until well combined.
  • Roll into one-inch balls, roll in sugar, and place on cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 7-9 minutes or until done.
  • Take out of oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before placing an unwrapped Hershey's Hug in the center of each cookie.
  • Be careful not to bump the cookies after placing in the Hershey's Hug, or they will melt and flatten into the cookie.
  • Let cookies and chocolate cool completely and enjoy!

    They will be fine, but your cookie will be cherry flavored.

    How to roll them into balls and into sugar when the dough is so sticky??

    The dough should not be sticky when adding 2 eggs and 1/3 cup of oil. You could add a little flour or refrigerate the dough to set up a little. I'm hoping you didn't make the cake according to box directions. Just include the ingredients in the recipe. Sorry it was so sticky for you.

    I had the exact same issue twice, I followed the recipe and did everything it said but it was so sticky that I had to get an ice cream scooper and that hardly worked too
