Notes
Butter : 1/3 cup butter is measured out on the butter wrapper. It's about 5 1/3 tablespoons of butter.
Sprinkles : Use any sprinkle variety or color you want! You can use sprinkles, sanding sugar (the finer sprinkles), or the non-pareils which are the small ball shaped sprinkles. I prefer the look of the non-pareils for these cookies.
Hershey Kisses : Use any type of Hershey Kiss you want. Mix & match them according to the cake mix used or the Holiday or celebration you're making the cookies for.
Cake Mix : Any cake mix will work as long as it's the 15.25 oz sized box. Mix and match the cake mix with the Hershey Kiss and sprinkles.
Tip : If your cookie dough is too sticky to roll into balls here are two options. First, if you cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes, this will usually solve the sticky dough issue. You can also just scoop the dough out and immediately put it into the sprinkles and coat it, then roll it into the ball shape. This will make it so your hands are not directly touching the dough and might make it less sticky. But again, chilling the dough will usually solve any sticky issues.
