Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies
(Recipe courtesy Paula Deen)
Makes a little over 2 dozen depending on the size that you make your balls
Ingredient:
1 (8 oz) brick cream cheese at room temperature
1 stick of butter at room temperature
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (18 oz) box of moist chocolate cake mix
Confectioners' sugar for dusting
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream the cream cheese and butter until it is smooth. Beat in the egg. Once the egg is beat in, add the vanilla extract. Beat in the cake mix. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours in order for the dough to firm up so you are able to roll the batter into balls. Roll the chilled batter into tablespoon sized balls and then roll them in confectioner's sugar. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake 12 minutes. The cookies will remain soft and gooey. Cool the cookies completely and if desired sprinkle more confectioners' sugar on them.
I have added two picture, of the the balls rolled in the sugar before baking and one of the finished yumminess :)
Be prepared to be addicted! I would love to hear if you made these yourself or what your favorite cookie is!
I hope everyone has a very happy holiday <3
