These easy witch hat cookies start with a white cake mix dyed purple. After baking, top each cookie with a dab of frosting, a Hershey's Kiss, and colorful sprinkles. Perfect for Halloween parties!

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Set your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the white cake mix, oil, and eggs. Stir until a dough forms. Add 15–20 drops of purple food coloring and mix until the dough is evenly vibrant purple.
  3. Using a cookie scoop, drop dough portions onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2–3 inches apart. Bake for 8–10 minutes.
  4. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  5. Spread a small amount of purple frosting in the center of each cooled cookie with a butter knife. Press a Hershey’s Kiss chocolate into the frosting, then sprinkle any exposed frosting with Halloween nonpareils.
