Cooking with Amy: Cake Batter Cookies

Amy makes cake batter cookies.

They are so ridiculously good looking.  

(You have to say that with Zoolander's voice in mind.)

They are so ridiculously good tasting. 

 So good, Amanda requested them for her birthday.

But we had so much going on in April, that they were never made.

It was sad, truly sad.  

But this weekend Amy finally decided that it was time to make these amazing little balls of joy.

She even asked, "Should I make cake batter cookies today?"

I think she just got shouts of joy for her answer.

(P.S. Just for future reference...you don't have to ask!)

So Amy baked and I took pictures.

Amy's Cake Batter Cookies:

What you'll need:

1 stick of butter, melted

1 brick of cream cheese

1 box of cake (she used Devil's Food)

1 egg

1/4 cup powdered sugar

How you do it:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1. Combine the butter, cream cheese, cake mix and egg in a bowl.  It should be softer than traditional cookie dough but denser then cake.  It will have a real sticky constancy.  

2. Pour powdered sugar into a small bowl.

3. Drop about 1 teaspoon of dough into the bowl of powdered sugar.  The sugar will allow you to roll the dough into balls.  The surface should be lightly dusted.

4. Place on a cookie sheet.

5. Cook for about 14 minutes.

Make sure you have a cold glass of milk and some willpower to walk away after you've had three, four...oh who am I kidding...five of these things.
