Rich cookies - flavor is your choice!

Want to throw together a batch of rich cookies that you need like ten minutes ago? Here is a nifty recipe that will give your home a 'just-baked' smell and your cookie jar a treat.

One box any flavor butter recipe cake mix
One stick butter (NOT margarine!)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
One large egg

Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix to combine thoroughly. Wrap dough in saran or waxed paper and chill for 1 1/2 to two hours.

Form the dough into small balls, not bigger than a walnut or there abouts, roll in powdered sugar (or cinnamon sugar depending on your flavor choice!) and bake in preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 10 minutes or until barely golden. Don't overbake! Once they cool, you can redust them with powdered sugar or drizzle them with icing.
