Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened 1 block
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 box white cake mix
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 3 ounces raspberry gelatin 1 box- JUST THE POWDER MIX
- OPTIONAL 1-2 drops red or pink food coloring
Instructions
- Add cream cheese and butter to the bowl of your mixer and cream until smooth.
- Next turn mixer to medium and add in one egg until batter is smooth.
- Then turn your mixer to a low speed and add in gelatin, cake mix and food coloring until everything is well combined and thick.
- Remove finished cookie dough from the mixer and wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
- While dough chills, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Remove chilled dough from refrigerator and roll into small balls and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
- Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with powdered sugar and bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove and cool for 10 minutes.
Notes
- Round Cookies: Shaping the cookie dough into round balls helps them bake up in a more circular shape.
- Vibrant Cookie Color. You will get a more vibrant color by adding some red or pink food coloring.
- Use a Cookie Scoop. This ensures your cookies are similar in size which aids in more even baking.
- Don't Skip Refrigerating the Dough. Resting the dough improves the flavor but also keeps the cookies from overspreading.
- Don't Over Bake. To keep them gooey you want to avoid cooking them too much as they can dry out.
