1 Egg
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
225g Cream Cheese (Softened)

3. Chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line two baking trays with parchment paper.

Notes
Variations: You can use a wide variety of different cake mix flavors, such as classic vanilla, rich chocolate, or fruity strawberry, to create delightful and delicious treats for everyone to enjoy. For an extra treat, try adding chocolate chips or sprinkles!
Chilling time: I highly recommend chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before using it. This dough tends to be quite sticky, and it becomes significantly easier to work with after it has been chilled for a little while. While you don’t necessarily have to refrigerate the dough if you find yourself in a hurry, do keep in mind that you will likely end up with messy fingers if you skip this step. This step also helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
