Today I went through my recipes and pulled those that I want to bake in the coming weeks. Lucky for me, Mike will take all of my finished products to work with him — otherwise I think I’d gain 20 lbs eating all the yummies! Today I made chocolate butter cookies, because some people from Mike’s work actually requested them. See, that’s how GOOD these things are. And it’s a Paula Deen recipe — and while her southern accent drives me nuts sometimes, I do enjoy her more-butter-is-better philosophy. ;)
1 stick butter, softened
8 oz. brick cream cheese, at room temp
1 egg
1 tea. vanilla extract
1 box moist chocolate cake mix
Powdered sugar for dusting
Cream butter and cream cheese with electric mixer. Beat in egg, then beat in the vanilla. Beat in the cake mix (add a little mix at a time). Cover and refrigerate for 2hrs. Preheat oven to 350F. Roll chilled batter into tablespoon-sized balls and roll them in powdered sugar. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 12 minutes.
i have made these twice after seeing them on your flickr, and they are probably my favorite cookies now! SO tasty!
Oh, I’m so glad you like them! :)
ok annie. i made these for xmas for people and made WAY to many, which you know. what you dont know is that we froze the dough, have been cooking it every week for a while now and they just get better and better. i cook them with a little less heat (like 330-340) and leave em in for 20 min or so… and they are AMAZING and i am not kidding with you about that. somewhere between a cookie, a brownie, and a cake… phenomenal.
Yay! I’m so glad you like them!!!
