Hey thanks for planning dinner for me...I will be snagging me this menu...love to you my friend!
Here are a couple of cookie recipes I'm doing. If we are lucky enough to come down for Christmas, I will bring some in for ya.
They are both SUPER easy and very good....kinda similar too...I noticed that after getting the ingredients together.
#1 Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies (from Paula Deen)
1 (8-ounce) brick cream cheese, room temperature
1 stick butter, at room temperature
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (18-ounce) box moist chocolate cake mix
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Beat in the egg. Then beat in the vanilla extract. Beat in the cake mix. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to firm up so that you can roll the batter into balls. Roll the chilled batter into tablespoon sized balls and then roll them in confectioner's sugar. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake 12 minutes. The cookies will remain soft and "gooey." Cool completely and sprinkle with more confectioners' sugar, if desired.
#2 Cream Cheese Cookies
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 box cake mix (any flavor, our favorite is strawberry)
1 egg
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 tsp. almond or vanilla extract
Mix all ingredients together. Chill dough for at least 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375*. Roll dough into 1" balls - place on cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are slightly browned.
