These cookies were delicious and so soft! The kids had a blast making, and devouring them. Great for class parties!
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Start by mixing the butter, vanilla, egg, and softened cream cheese in a bowl.
Then add the box of cake mix, we used golden but white would work too. Golden changes the food colour slightly but I was very happy with how our colours turned out.
Divide the batter into bowls, 1 bowl = 1 colour. We did orange, blue and green so 3 bowls. Cover, so the batter diesn’t dry out, and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Once Chilled roll into 1 1/2″ balls, roll the ball in the powdered sugar, this helps creates the crackled, mildew look! Place on a greased cookie sheet, gently pat down the ball, it will spread more in the oven.
Place in the oven for 10-12 minutes. Once baked let cool for a few minutes then place the eyes on the cookies while they are still warm
