Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350u00b0

2. 2

   Beat the cream cheese and butter in a mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.

3. 3

   Add the cake mix then beat until well incorporated.

4. 4

   Cover with a saran wrap then store in the fridge to chill for 2 hours. This will firm up the batter which would make it easier to form into balls.

5. 5

   After chilling for 2 hours, pick a tablespoon batter and roll into a ball.

6. 6

   Place the confectionery sugar into a flat container/pie plate. Roll the balls into the powdered sugar.

7. 7

   Place the cookie balls in a cookie sheet. Bake them in the oven for 10 minutes. Do this in batches.

8. 8

   Cool the cookies in a wire rack completely. Sprinkle more powdered sugar if you want to. Like I said, slightly crunchy on the outside but soft, buttery, and moist on the inside.
