Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 box yellow cake mix
1/2 c butter, softened
1/2 tsp vanilla
8 oz cream cheese (i used neufchatel)
1 large egg
7 drops green food coloring
2 drops yellow food coloring
powdered sugar
candy eyes

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • 2. In a mixing bowl, beat butter, vanilla, cream cheese, and egg until well blended and fluffy. Add food coloring. Blend. Stir in cake mix until well blended.
  • 3. Roll into 1 inch balls (I used my cookie scooper) and roll in powdered sugar before placing on prepared cookie sheet. (I liked them better when I flattened the dough lightly with my palm otherwise the cookies were really poofy and round instead of flat.)
  • 4. Bake in preheated oven for about 10 minutes. remove from oven and immediately lightly press a candy eye into center. Allow to cool completely before removing from pan.
  • 5. Enjoy with your favorite "ghoul" ;)
