"The cookies are super soft, moist, buttery, and the cream cheese gives them a very subtle tang that's lovely. I used semi-sweet chocolate to play up the mild chocolate flavor that red velvet is known for, but white chocolate chips would work. There's just enough melted chocolate in every bite to perfectly compliment the squishy soft and tender cookies. Make sure the cream cheese and butter are very well softened to room temp before creaming them together and that the cake mix is sifted, or the small lumps of unincorporated cream cheese or small dry cake mix pebbles will stand out like a sore thumb in the red dough. You must use full-fat brick-style original cream cheese. The dough is exceedingly moist, soft, gooey, and must be chilled for at least 3 hours before baking, or overnight...."

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup unsalted butter, very soft
8 ounces cream cheese, brick-style (must use full-fat cream cheese; not lite, whipped, spreadable, etc.)
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
one 18.25-ounce box red velvet cake mix, sifted (don't skip sifting oryou'll have lumps that won't incorporate; if the brand of cake mix you use is slightly larger, that's fine, but smaller is not okay or the dough will be too wet)
12-ounces (1 bag) semi-sweet chocolate chips
