Gooey Butter Chocolate Cookies
Grab a cake mix, a box of cream cheese and a couple other things you probably have in your kitchen and get these started. Follow me over on Facebook and Instagram @lolosdesserts. Be sure to snap a pic if you make a Lolo’s recipe and tag it with #lolosdesserts. I love to see what you are making!
Ingredients
1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese, room temperature
1 stick butter (1 stick), at room temperature
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 (18-ounce) box chocolate cake mix
powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add in the egg and vanilla then mix again. Add the cake mix and mix again until just combined. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a baking sheet with silpat or non stick spray.
- Take the chilled dough from the fridge and roll Tablespoon size balls and then roll the balls in powdered sugar. Place on the cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake 11 minutes. The cookies will still look soft and gooey. Cool completely and sprinkle with more powdered sugar.
