Steps:
- For the cookies: Position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
- Beat the cake mix, butter, eggs and 1/3 cup water with an electric mixer on medium speed in a large bowl until smooth and no bits of dry cake mix are left. Drop the batter by the tablespoonful (a small ice cream scoop will make this task easier) onto the prepared baking sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart. (You will have additional batter for a second batch.)
- Bake until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center, about 8 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely (the rounded tops will sink slightly). When the baking sheets are cool, repeat with the remaining batter.
- For the frosting: Melt the butter and chocolate in a medium microwavable bowl in the microwave in 1-minute increments, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and vanilla together with an electric mixer on medium speed in a large bowl until smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture into the cream cheese mixture and beat until smooth.
- Frost the cookies, decorate with sprinkles and serve.

HOLIDAY COOKIE MIX
This is a cookie mix I make every Christmas. When time is at a premium...being prepared is always a good thing. I got this from a Christmas edition of Pillsbury's Cookbook. Using the baking mix you can make several different cookies for your Christmas cookie trays. The beauty of this is you have the mix in the refrigerator to use whenever you have short time to whip up a lovely cookie! I will add the cookie recipes asap.

- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Measure Accurately: Baking is a science, so it's important to measure your ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale for the most precise results.
- Follow the Recipe: Don't skip any steps or ingredients in the recipe. If you do, you may end up with cookies that are dry, crumbly, or too sweet.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps to develop the flavor and prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- Bake at the Right Temperature: Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking the cookies. If the oven is too hot, the cookies will burn. If it's too cool, they will be underbaked.
- Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your cookies the best flavor. If you can, use organic ingredients whenever possible.
