CHOCOLATE GOOEY BUTTER COOKIES

  • 15 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 (8-ounce) brick cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 stick butter, at room temperature
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 (18-ounce) box moist chocolate cake mix
  • Powdered Sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Beat in the egg. Then beat in the vanilla. Beat in the cake mix. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to firm up so that you can roll the batter into balls. Roll the chilled batter into tablespoon sized balls and then roll them in powdered sugar. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2" apart. Bake 12 minutes. The cookies will remain soft and "gooey." Cool completely and sprinkle with more powdered sugar, if desired.
