Recipe- Red Velvet Gooey Butter Cookies

I saw this recipe on Pinterest the other day, and it looks divine! I haven't tried it yet, but I couldn't pass up sharing it with everyone because I'm sure these cookies would be delicious :)

Ingredients:

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 (18 ounce) box red velvet cake mix

1 cup white chocolate chips

Powdered sugar, for rolling and dusting 

Directions:

Cream the cream cheese and butter on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the egg and vanilla and beat until well combined. Add the cake mix and beat until incorporated. Fold in white chocolate chips.

Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to firm up, so that you can roll the dough into balls.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Add powdered sugar to a shallow bowl. Roll a heaping tablespoon of dough into a 1 1/2 inch ball, roll the ball in the powdered sugar and place in on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remianing dough, spacing the balls about 2 inches apart. Bake until set, about 11-12 minutes. Cool 5 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy!
