COOKIES
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Beat in egg and cake mix.
Scoop cookie dough, with a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. Chill sheet with scooped cookie dough for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Bake the cookie for 10-12 minutes at 350°F until just cooked through. We want them to come out super soft. Transfer to wire rack about 5 minutes after removing from oven, to cool completely.

Spread frosting liberally over cooled cookies.
