Food Network Specials 12 Days of Cookies Day 1: Paula's Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies
Dip your hands into the Christmas cookie jar, y'all! Paula dolls up cakey chocolate cookies with cream cheese and butter for gooey goodness. Cook Time: 12 Minutes Level: Easy Yield: 2 Dozen Cookies INGREDIENTS: 1 (18-ounce) box moist chocolate cake mix 1 (8-ounce) brick cream cheese, room temperature 1 stick butter, at room temperature 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Confectioners' sugar, for dusting DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Beat in the egg. Then beat in the vanilla extract. Beat in the cake mix. 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. Place on an 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. _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
