Gooey Butter Cookies

They are best after they have cooled. It says to bake until they are golden brown; it is best not to bake them that long (once they start to turn, take them out). Their yummy texture goes away if they are overbaked.

½ cup butter, softened
¼ tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 (8-oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
1 box butter recipe cake mix
nonstick cooking spray
powdered sugar for dipping

Beat butter, vanilla, egg, and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Mix in dry cake mix. Cover and chill for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350⁰. Lightly coat cookie sheet with cooking spray. Drop dough by teaspoonful into bowl of powdered sugar; roll into balls and place on cookie sheet. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 4 dozen.
