Judy's Cream Cheese Cookies

One of the things that I make for  quick treat are Cream Cheese Cookies. I have been making them since my children were little and they always look forward to having some of them. The recipe is simple to make and they taste delicious. They are so light and luscious you'll bake them often.

                                               

 CREAM CHEESE COOKIES

• 1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese softened
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 box yellow (or devils food) Cake Mix

Cream the butter and cheese. Blend in the egg yolk and vanilla.  Add cake mix (dry), one third at a time, mixing well after each addition. (If a mixer is used, add the last third of the cake mix by hand.)
Cover and chill for 30 minutes.

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Drop cookies by level teaspoons onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool slightly before removing from baking sheet.

Yields 6 to 8 dozen cookies.
