Gooey Butter Cookies
1 (18 ounce) box moist chocolate cake (devils food chocolate is the best)
1 (8 ounce) block of cream cheese at room temp
1 egg
1 stick of butter, room temp
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Powered sugar for dusting
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream the cheese and butter until smooth. Beat in the egg. Then beat in the vanilla extract. 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 some powdered sugar. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Bake 12-14 minutes. The cookies will remain soft and gooey. Cool completetly and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Tips:
Make sure the cream cheese and butter are room temp...take them out in the morning.
The batter divides up into 24 cookies perfectly if you make the cookies the right size.
I always forget I have to chill the batter first...so make sure you plan ahead when baking these tasty treats.
