- 1 8 oz. brick cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for sprinkling on top)

- Gradually add the cake mix, mixing until the batter is thick and fully combined.
- Using a medium scoop or tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto a lined baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers appear slightly undercooked.

Notes
For best results, ensure the butter and cream cheese are softened at room temperature before mixing.
These cookies can be made ahead and frozen, maintaining their delicious flavor.
Sprinkling the powdered sugar after baking prevents it from melting into the cookies.
