Day 1: Paula's Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies
For a simple and irresistible cookie, Paula dolls up chocolate cake mix with cream cheese and butter.
Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) brick cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 stick butter, at room temperature
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 (22-ounce) box King Arthur Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake Mix minus 1 cup.
- Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Directions
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Beat in the egg. Then beat in the vanilla extract. Beat in the cake mix. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to firm up so that you can roll the batter into balls.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Roll the chilled batter into tablespoon sized balls and then roll them in confectioner's sugar. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake 12 minutes. The cookies will remain soft and "gooey." Cool completely and sprinkle with more confectioners' sugar, if desired. Be careful not to overcook. Put on the timer!!
