Sweet Treat!

Just as I promised, here is the first sweet treat I want to share with you. I came upon this recipe on food network (and of course it's Paula Deen), Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies. I made them for the first time today and they are really good! Will is not much of a chocolate person, and these are just the perfect amount of chocolate flavor for him. So they are not a very heavy or rich cookie, just a bite of gooey goodness! They were very simple too, so try em and let me know what ya think!!

Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies

1 8oz cream cheese (room temperature)
