Oh my gosh, these are good and so easy. Use your imagination. I stumbled upon this recipe after realizing just how many cake mixes I had in my pantry. I love the flavor the cream cheese gives it. I'm a chocolate chip fiend, so I used a Duncan Hines French Vanilla cake mix and a small package of chocolate chips.

Deliciously sweet, these cookies are fantastic! The cream cheese gives them a soft and gooey taste. Their texture is cake-like. If you like a thinner crispy cookie, these are not that. Sort of like a soft-batch cookie you get from the store. We made these two ways. For one, we used a butter cake mix and added chocolate chips. The other we used a red velvet cake mix and mixed in white chocolate chips and nuts. Get creative with your favorite combination.
