How to Make Buddha's Ultimately Moist Chocolate Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 8 ounces (225g) of softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup (115g) of unsalted butter using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg, then 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add 15 ounces (425g) of chocolate cake mix, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the dough to firm up.
  6. Roll the chilled dough into 1-tablespoon sized balls.
  7. Place the balls onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. Avoid overbaking!
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
