Ooey Gooey Chocolate Butter Cookies

Alright yall. It's officially cookie baking time. I want to share with you my favorite cookie recipe. It's super easy and super delicious and I just know you will love it.

This is originally a recipe a la Paula Deen. That woman makes the most magical baked goods. I think its because she is not afraid of butter. Here we go:

The cast of characters:
-A box of fudgy chocolate cake mix
-A stick of butter (softened)
-A block of cream cheese (softened)
-1 egg

Mix all your ingredients together in a bowl and chill for at least 30 minutes. Next, roll the dough into 1" balls and roll in powdered sugar. *Warning* This is a messy cookie to make. You will get your hands dirty. Don't let that stop you!!

Bake for about 15-20 minutes. These are supposed to be really soft and fluffly cookies so don't be tempted to over cook them. You do, however, want to make sure that they are not gooey in the centers.

Finally- cool them off and display them on something adorable, like the cake plate you made after last week's tutorial! ;) And try not to eat the entire batch in one go. Have milk on hand.

Happy Baking Little Birds!
Love,
