1 teaspoon vanilla
1 box chocolate cake mix
confectioners sugar for dusting
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. In a large bowl, use mixer to cream the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Beat in egg and then beat in vanilla. Add cake mix and blend in.
3. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to firm up so you can roll the dough into balls.
4. Roll the chilled dough into teaspoon-sized balls and then roll in confectioners sugar. Flour hands if dough sticks.
5. Place balls on ungreased cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Bake 12 minutes. The cookies will remain soft and gooey. Cool completely and sprinkle with more confectioners sugar if desired.
Makes three dozen cookies
