How to Make Fudge Blossoms

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and cake mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Use an electric mixer for best results.
  3. Beat in the egg and water until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Roll the dough into 1/2-inch balls.
  5. Roll each ball in the peanuts or nuts, gently pressing the nuts into the dough.
  6. Place the cookie balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are puffed.
  8. Remove baking sheets from oven and immediately press a candy (kiss, half-caramel, etc.) into the center of each cookie.
  9. Return to oven and bake for 1 more minute.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
