Chocolate Butter Cookie Recipe
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon instant coffee powder
1 package cream cheese, room temperature
1 stick butter, room temperature
1 egg
1 box moist chocolate cake mix
1 cup powdered sugar
Mix the coffee and vanilla extract to reconstitute the coffee. Using a stand mixer on medium with the paddle attachment, cream together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the egg, then add the vanilla mixture. Finally, add the chocolate cake mix slowly, scraping the sides as needed until incorporated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, then chill for two hours or freeze for about an hour.
Place the powdered sugar in a mixing bowl, then roll out the cookies. I used a one-Tablespoon scoop to portion out the cookies because the batter is sticky, but you can roll them out by hand if you add a touch of vegetable oil to your hands first.
Drop the cookies in the powdered sugar a few at a time and shake gently to coat in powdered sugar. Place on a cookie sheet no closer than two inches from each other. Bake at 350-degrees for 12 minutes, no more, no less. The cookies will look slightly undone, but that's what you're after for a tender, gooey cookie.
