This is a recipe from the Blue Owl Restaurant and Bakery in Kimmswick, Missouri. Kimmswick is an historic town. This restaurant has even been featured on the Food Network. When I saw this recipe I couldn't wait to try it, so I did, it was delicious !!! I had so much faith in this recipe that I doubled it on the first try, and I am glad I did, they flew out of here with the family. The owner of the restaurant says this is a favorite and bestseller for them. I am sure you will enjoy it, this is one of the easiest recipes I have ever made, but it is one of the best ! Tastes like a Gooey Butter Cake!! I myself used parchment paper which made the cookies thicker and gooeyier if there is such a word LOL Prep time includes 30 min refrigeration.

4 dozen (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter, softened (no substitutions)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 (18 ounce) box yellow cake mix
1 cup powdered sugar

Directions

1
In a large bowl of electric mixer, beat together butter, vanilla, egg and cream cheese until light and fluffy.
2
Add cake mix; beat until well blended ( It will be very stiff).
3
Cover dough and chill 30 minutes.
4
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Shape dough into 1 inch balls; roll in powdered sugar. Place about 1 1/2 inches apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet, or you may use parchment paper. With the parchment paper they will not spread as much. Bake 12 minutes, DO NOT let cookies brown!
5
Let cookies cool and then sift additional powdered sugar over them.

All of my family loved these! My husband loves a soft cookie and this is it. We have been to the Blue Owl and had a wonderful dessert there, but didn't try these cookies. I am trying them today with lemon. I ended up with 3 dozen instead of 4, but they were the perfect size. I make my cookies on stoneware so I did not need parchment paper.

WONDERFUL!!!! very simple and very delicious my family ate ALL of them in under two hours. The only problem is that the recipe says it makes four dozen and DOESN'T it makes about two dozen.
