1 chocolate cake mix
powdered sugar for rolling
1 8oz. pkg. cream cheese

powdered sugar for rolling
prep.1. blend butter and cream cheese together
2. add the egg, vanilla, and cake mix

YUMMMO! What was the original name?
the original name was gooey butter cookies.
I don't care for the term "gooey"- that sounds pudding or something. Also, although they are buttery, "butter cookies" doesn't make you think of chocolate at all!
These look SO good. That close up of the dough on the spoon is killing me. I'm lucky if I ever bake my cookies, so great is my love of the raw dough!
Once Grandma Judy made those.
They are SO good!
Oh yum yum these look amazing!
I bookmarked this recipe so I could try it for Christmas. Look really good and easy!
Made these for 5 family members, got raves, had to go to Target Christmas Eve to buy more ingredients and make more, and posted the recipe 5 times on FB bc everyone wanted it! Success!!
