Easy chocolate gooey butter cookies

We've finally finished off the last of our cookies.  I feel particularly gluttonous this year as I'm the one who consumed the most.  My friend, Barb (Tiny Bubbles), shared this decadent recipe with me.  It's from Paula Deen and the Food Network, so be prepared...there are only 5 ingredients, two of which are a stick of butter and a brick of cream cheese (I used low fat cream cheese).  

I know, I didn't say healthy, but these are our new favorites!  They are soft and chewy - kind of a cross between brownies and a cake.  My mouth is watering as I type this.  Enjoy!

 Give these babies an extra dusting of powdered sugar after they've baked.
