Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15.25 oz) box yellow cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually incorporate the yellow cake mix until fully combined; the dough will be thick.
  4. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop generous amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them well apart.
  5. Sprinkle powdered sugar generously over each cookie before baking.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft. Let cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
