Ooey-Gooey Chocolate Butter Cookies

I've been in search of a unique yet delicious cookie recipe.  With Google and a little improvisation and changes of my own...this is it!  And they are every bit as delicious as their name makes them sound. 

 

 The ingredients are super simple and probably things you have on hand.  They're probably the easiest cookies I've ever made!  (Aside from "slice and bake".) 

1 chocolate cake mix (I used Devil's Food)

1 8 oz. pkg of cream cheese

1 stick butter

1 egg

2 tsp. vanilla

powdered sugar

1. First, cream together butter and cream cheese.  

2. Then mix in egg and vanilla. 

3. Mix in cake mix.

The recipe then said to refrigerate the dough for 2 hours.  However, I didn't have 2 hours, so instead popped the dough in the freezer for about 30-40 minutes.  It worked perfectly...so whatever you have time for will be fine.  

Then you take your chilled dough and roll into balls.  Roll the balls in powdered sugar.  Place on lightly sprayed cookie sheet.

Bake 10-13 minutes at 350.  Don't over bake or they'll be too cakey and not ooey-gooey.

Once cookies are completely cooled dust with more powdered sugar. 

The only hard part about this recipe is trying not to eat them all at once!!!!
