Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
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.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop generous amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them well apart.
Sprinkle powdered sugar generously over each cookie before baking.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft. Let cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
