In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream the cream cheese and butter until smooth.

Step 3

Beat in the egg. Then beat in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Beat in the cake mix.

Step 5

Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to firm up so that you can roll the batter into balls.

Roll the chilled batter into tablespoon sized balls and then roll them in confectioner’s sugar.

Step 7

Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake 12 minutes.

The cookies will remain soft and gooey.

I can always make room in my stomach for the dessert no matter how full I am.
