Monday's Munchie

Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies

My husband LOVES these cookies!  They are light, soft and oh so yummy!  I got this recipe from watching Paula Deen on the Food Network. You can go HERE if you want a video tutorial. They are very easy to mix together because you only need a few ingredients.


Ingredients





  • 1 (8-ounce) brick cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 stick butter, at room temperature
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (18-ounce) box moist chocolate cake mix
  • Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
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 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 tablespoon sized balls and then roll them in confectioner's sugar.

 I use a cookie scoop to make my life easier. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart and lightly smoosh the cookies. 

Bake for 12 minutes and tada...yummy chocolate cookies!
