Chocolate Butter Cookies




These are simple but you need to refrigerate the dough for about two hours before baking.

Ingredients:
8oz cream cheese at room temperature
1 stick butter at room temperature
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 box chocolate cake mix
Powered sugar

Directions:
In a large bowl mix the cream cheese and the butter with an electric mixer. Blend in the egg. Blend in the vanilla. Add the cake mix and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Roll the batter into teaspoon size balls then roll in powdered sugar. Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (greatest invention). Bake at 350 for 12 minutes. Cookies will still be gooey looking. Cool completely and sprinkle with more powdered sugar if desired.
