Gooey Butter Cookies



I retrieved this yummy cookie recipe from Priscilla Bakes. These are delicious and very moist which is my kind of cookie. The powdered sugar somewhat disappeared on mine while cooking, so I added a little more for garnish when they were done. These make
a great gift as well by placing a few in a cellophane bag.

Ingredients:
1 8oz. pkg. cream cheese
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 egg
1/4 tsp. vanilla
1 yellow cake mix
1/2 c. powdered sugar

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese and butter. Stir in egg and vanilla. Add cake mix; stir until well blended. Powder sugar your hands well. Roll balls into 1" or 2" and roll balls thoroughly in powdered sugar. Place 1" apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 minutes. Leave on cookie sheet for 3 minutes or more before removing to cool on wire racks.

You can also use a chocolate cake mix and they are even better!!! Jeff's mom introduced me to this recipe about a year ago & they are my favorite cookies now. :0)
