Over the holidays I made a “few” cookies (to say the least)… but by far the most popular cookie every year is the easiest one I make.

I’ve been asked for the recipe several times this season, and just was asked again on Twitter- so I thought I’d share…

The Cheesecake Cookie

I add the dollop of chocolate in the middle-- yum!

Ingredients:

1 package of Yellow Cake Mix

1 package (stick) of Cream Cheese

1 stick of Butter

1 egg yolk

Chocolate chips (optional)

Directions:

- Soften Butter and Cream Cheese in microwave

- Mix together Butter, Cream Cheese, Cake Mix and Egg Yolk together.

(The batter will be thick)

- With a spoon add dollops of the mixture to a well greased baking pan.

- Heat oven to 350 and bake for 10 minutes (until tops begin to brown)

- When cookies are done, let cool and enjoy as is– OR

melt chocolate and add a dollop to the middle… allow chocolate to ha.rden.

….

These cookies are delish.. but pace yourself… these little slivers of heaven are heavy on the stomach when you’ve had more than 2 — remember, its Cheesecake! :)

Enjoy!
