Paula Deen's Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies - slightly altered
1 box dark chocolate cake mix (dry)
1 large egg
1/2 c. butter, softened
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. sugar
In large bowl, beat cake mix, egg, butter, cream cheese and vanilla until well mixed. Dough will be stiff. Roll dough into balls and coat in sugar. Place chocolate balls on a sheet pan and slightly press dough down with your fingers. Bake at 350 F for 8-10 minutes. Cookies will seem very soft but will set after cooling.
