Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • ½ cup powdered sugar divided
  • ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 box yellow butter cake mix or yellow cake mix

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Add 8 ounces cream cheese, ¼ cup of the ½ cup powdered sugar, and ½ cup unsalted butter to a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until combined.
  3. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bow, then add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 large egg, and 1 box yellow butter cake mix. Beat until combined.
  4. Use a medium cookie scoop, about 2 tablespoons, to scoop the dough. Roll the scooped dough into uniform balls and then roll them in the remaining ¼ cup of powdered sugar until coated.
  5. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between them. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges of the cookies just start to brown.
  6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
