Ingredients
- 8 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 chocolate cake mix
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup chopped maraschino cherries, patted dry
- 1 cup chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Beat the butter, egg, and vanilla. Stir in the cake mix and mix well.
- Add the cream cheese and beat until mixed in. Stir in the chocolate chunks and cherries by hand.
- Refrigerate the cookie dough for 1-2 hours. The dough will be sticky from the cherries.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Roll the dough into 24 cookie balls. Place on un-greased baking sheet or a Silpat. Bake for 10-11 minutes. The cookies will be very soft, but do not over bake them.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes. Remove the cookies to a sheet of wax paper and cool completely.
- If the cookies are extra puffy, tap the tops of the cookies with the back of a spatula to even out the tops. The cookies will continue to set up after cooling.
- Store in a loosely sealed container for 4-5 days.
