Here's what you need:
1 8-oz. brick of cream cheese at room temperature
1 stick of butter at room temperature
1 egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 18-oz. box of moist chocolate cake mix
Confectioner's sugar for cookie dusting Here's what you do:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the cream cheese and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer. After the two are thoroughly mixed, beat in the egg, vanilla extract and chocolate cake mix.
