Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 12 mins
Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies

Ingredients

  1. 1 package butter cake mix
  2. 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  3. 1/2 cup butter, softened
  4. 1 egg
  5. 1 cup chocolate chips
  6. 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter cake mix, softened cream cheese, and softened butter. Mix using an electric mixer on medium speed until the ingredients are well blended and smooth.
  3. Add the egg to the mixture and continue mixing until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
  4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
  5. Place the powdered sugar in a separate small bowl. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough into the powdered sugar and roll to coat completely.
  6. Place the sugar-coated cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear slightly soft and gooey.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Tips

  1. Make sure your cream cheese and butter are truly softened at room temperature for the smoothest, most consistent dough.
  2. Don't overmix the dough - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the cookies tender.
  3. Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
  4. Roll the cookie dough balls generously in powdered sugar for that classic crackly, sweet exterior.
  5. Watch the baking time carefully - these cookies should look slightly underbaked in the center for maximum gooeyness.
  6. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
  7. For extra chocolate indulgence, try using a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips.
  8. Store in an airtight container to maintain their soft, gooey texture for up to 5 days.
