Cookies- how do I love you? Our family loves cookies in all shapes and sizes from regular chocolate chip cookies to savory rosemary pine nut cookies. They are so good and the perfect pair to coffee or tea. These chocolate ooey gooey crinkle cookies are chewy and full of chocolate goodness. These are a delicious cake mix cookies with cream cheese and butter made famous from Paula Deen.

We pack a few cookies in the kids lunch box as well. There is nothing better than when the school asks for donations for the bake sales they have and we can just unfreeze a batch of chocolate ooey gooey crinkle cookies for them.

Let cool slightly before transferring the cookies to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Chocolate Ooey Gooey Crinkle Cookies with Powdered Sugar

These cookies are chewy and chocolate and delicious. They are very similar to the texture of Paula Deen’s Chocolate Butter cookies that are made with a cake mix but these have a layer of chocolate that is so delicious.

These are perfect for any time of year- so do not be afraid to put these on your holiday cookie trays too.
