Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies

1- 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
1- stick butter, room temperature
1- egg
1- tsp. vanilla extract
1- 18 oz. box moist German Chocolate cake mix
Confectioners’ suger for dusting

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 you can roll the batter into balls. Roll the chilled batter into teaspoon sized balls and rolled them in confectioners 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.
