Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies





Where does the time go? I can't believe we haven't posted anything in almost two months! Time flies when you're having fun! I tried a new recipe for cookies today. And with the holidays coming up, who can't use a recipe for a new cookie?! They came out really good and my five year old daughter loved helping me in the kitchen. Anything that's easy for kids to do gets 4 thumbs up!






Ingredients

1 8oz brick of cream cheese at room temperature

1 stick butter at room temperature

1 egg

1tsp vanilla extract

1 box(18oz) moist chocolate cake mix

Powdered sugar, for dusting


Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, cream together cream cheese and butter until smooth.

Beat in the egg. Then the vanilla extract. Beat in the cake mix.

Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours.

Roll the chilled batter into tablespoon size balls and then roll them into powdered sugar.
Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart.


Bake for 12 minutes.

The cookies will remain soft and gooey.

Cool completely and sprinkle with more powdered sugar.


Serve with a nice, tall glass of milk!
