Cake Mix Cookies with Cream Cheese Recipe

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a mixer bowl, combine the cream cheese and butter. Mix until creamy.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.

Step 4

Add the package of cake mix and mix until the batter is thick and everything is mixed together.

Step 5

Put the sprinkles or powdered sugar on a small plate or in a shallow bowl.

Step 6

Use a medium scoop or spoon to make balls about 1 1/2 inches. Roll the balls between your palms until they are round. Then roll them in the sprinkles until they are completely covered.

Step 7

Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between balls. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are set, and the middle looks cooked.

Step 8

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before placing them on wire racks to finish cooling.
