Equipment

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
1/2 cup butter room temperature
1 whole egg
1 cup white chocolate chips
15 ounce box strawberry cake mix
1/4 cup powdered sugar optional
1/8 cup Valentines sprinkles optional

Instructions

Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth and fluffy. Add egg and mix again.
Add dry cake mix and mix until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
Chill cookie dough in the refrigerator for 60 minutes. Or, scoop cookies and drop them on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Freeze for 15 minutes. The cookie dough should be firm and not sticky.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease.
Scoop cookies into 1 ½ inch balls. Roll until smooth. Roll in powdered sugar and then in sprinkles if desired.
Place cookie balls onto the prepared cookie sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes before removing to cooling rack.

Notes

Variations: It's fun to switch up the cake mix flavors in this recipe. Yellow cake mix, red velvet, and spice cake mixes are great options! It's also fun to add semi-sweet chocolate chips and different kinds of nuts.

I like rolling the cookies in white chocolate chips to make sure they have chocolate chips on the tops of the cookies after baking. That's optional though!
