On Saturday, I had the rare opportunity to have the Food channel on the TV most of the day while I was cleaning and doing the Saturday chore stuff. The men were all out doing their manly things... so I watched and watched.... I don't know who half of the cooks were cuz I haven't watched in a while, but I did get some new recipes. I tried one today... Paula (stick of butter lady) Deen's Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies. These are easy and VERY rich. So I will share this recipe:
1 (8-ounce) brick cream cheese, room temperature
1 stick butter (make sure it's REAL butter), at room temperature
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (18-ounce) box moist chocolate cake mix
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Beat in the egg. Then beat in the vanilla extract. Beat in the cake mix. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours (ya can't rush this step.. I tried and my cookies were a little flat... chill at least this long if not longer!)to firm up so that you can roll the batter into balls. Roll the chilled batter into tablespoon sized balls and then roll them in confectioner's sugar. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake 12 minutes. The cookies will remain soft and "gooey." Cool completely and sprinkle with more confectioners' sugar, if desired.
Here's a pic of mine...
So there ya have it. Enjoy!
