Chocolate "Gooey" Butter Cookies

O.M.G.

These cookies are to die for.....they are like a cookie, cake, and chocolate doughnut all in one.

These are a Paula Deen creation. I don't usually do Paula because, quite frankly, I'd like to NOT have a heart attack, but these are super simple and worth it.


You need:
1 8oz package of cream cheese at room temp (I used 1/3 less fat)
1 15-18 oz box of moist chocolate cake mix
1 stick of butter at room temp
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
Confectioner's sugar.


First, take cream cheese and butter and cream together with a mixer until mixed thoroughly.  Then add egg and mix til mixed through.  Finally add the vanilla.



Next, dump the cake mix into the cream cheese and butter mixture and mix well.



Next chill the batter for 1-2 hours or until its solid enough to roll into balls. 

Roll into balls of desired size then roll to completely cover in confectioner's sugar.







Bake for 12 min at 325-350.  Allow to cool.





These stay super soft! Simple and amazing.......I made 4 dozen small cookies and they were gone in a day!!!!
