Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a cookie sheet or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, oil, vanilla and eggs until well combined.
Using a cookie scoop, or a spoon, grab tablespoon amounts of dough and roll into a ball.
If the dough is too wet you can refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes.
Roll the ball of dough into the granulated sugar or the red sugar.
Either sugar will work fine, the red sugar just gives it a little more glimmer and pop.
Place onto the cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9-11 minutes.
As soon as the tray comes out of the oven press a chocolate drop into the middle of the cookie. Work fast as the cookies are harder to press as they cool.
Move to a sheet of wax paper and allow the cookies and chocolate to completely cool before storing.
Store in a covered container.
