Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F.
  • 2
    In large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter with spoon until well blended; stir in vanilla and egg. Add cake mix; stir until well blended.
  • 3
    Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls; roll in powdered sugar. Place balls on ungreased cookie sheets 1-inch apart. Discard any remaining powdered sugar.
  • 4
    Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with additional powdered, if desired. Store covered at room temperature.

  • To quickly soften cream cheese, remove from wrapper, and place on microwavable plate. Microwave uncovered on High about 15 seconds or just until softened.
  • To soften butter, cut into small pieces and leave at room temperature. A faster method is to microwave butter in 5 second increments, turning the butter frequently so butter is softened but not melted.
  • Use a cookie scoop to make portioning cookie dough and shaping into balls more consistent and bake evenly.
  • Cookies turn out best when baked one sheet at a time on middle oven rack. Allow cookie sheet to cool completely between batches, otherwise cookies will spread too much.
