How to Make Gooey Chocolate Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together 4 ounces (113g) of softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup (113g) of softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add 15.25 ounces (432g) of chocolate cake mix, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up.
  6. Roll rounded tablespoons of dough into balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. Avoid overbaking!
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
