- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 stick butter, room temperature
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (the real stuff, don’t even buy the imitation stuff…you’re better than that)
- 1 (18-ounce) box devil’s food cake mix
- Powdered sugar
Directions
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2) In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until well-combined. Beat in the cake mix.
3) Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Roll the chilled batter into tablespoon sized balls and then roll them in powdered sugar. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake 12 to 15 minutes. The cookies will remain soft, and have a cake/brownie type of texture. Cool completely on wire racks.
