Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1 (15.25 ounce) box of Funfetti cake mix
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, cream together cream cheese and butter until well blended (about 2 minutes)
2. Add vanilla and egg to the bowl and blend until combined.
3. Add in cake mix and blend until just combined.
4. Chill dough for a half hour so it’s easy to form into balls. Dough will be very sticky if you skip this step.
5. Once dough has been chilled for half hour, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
6. Form dough into 1 inch balls and roll in powdered sugar (I poured my powdered sugar in a bowl but you could also do on wax paper). Place on baking sheet.
7. Bake cookies for 9-10 minutes – no longer! You want the cookies to be very soft.
8. Allow to cool on baking sheet for about 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
