Y’all, these, cookies…I can find nothing to improve upon in these cookies. They are perfectly moist, but gooey, and also kind of fluffy. The perfect amount of chocolate and sweet, but not too sweet. These cookies have a 100% approval rating by every person I have ever given these to..and well, you can’t beat that. I brought these into the office of a TV show I was working on once, and one of the actresses was asking everyone who had made them. She went out of her way to track me down just to say thank you because they were so incredible. Also, my guy, who is hands down the pickiest eater ever absolutely loves these, and they are my method of payment to my sister for her help in all matters relating to computers 🙂 Okay, have I talked these up enough to convince y’all to make these yet? They are sooo easy and sooo delicious, and the recipe can easily be doubled (which you will need to) so what I’m saying is, go, go, goooo and make these! 🙂
Roll the balls in the sugar like so…
All ready to be baked up..
mmmm, cookies…
- 1 Box of Moist Milk Chocolate Cake Mix
- 1 Egg
- 1 Block (8 ounces) of Cream Cheese, Softened
- 1 Stick (1/2 Cup) of Butter, Softened
- 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
- Confectioner's Sugar for Dusting
- With a hand mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream the butter and cream cheese until smooth.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla.
- Add in the chocolate cake mix, and blend until smooth (this batter will be very thick).
- Cover the batter and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Roll the chilled batter into balls (about 2-3 tablespoons depending how big you want them).
- Roll the balls into the confectioners sugar, covering completely.
- Place the balls onto a greased cookie sheet 2 inches apart.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes, do not overbake these cookies, they will stay gooey in the middle which is what you want.
- Sprinkle more confectioners sugar if desired.
Those gooey cake cookies–they work with any cake mix sister! Also, I’ve done it with brownie mix that had chocolate chips in it–INSANELY good! 😉
I enjoy your cheat day recipes sister! 🙂
Right?! such an awesome recipe, no matter what cake mix used, and the brownie mix with chocolate chips sounds awesome! I’m definitely going to have to try that, and thank you so much for swinging by friend 🙂 -Holly
