Now that sounds easy enough and good. I don't really care to make cookies but will try this.Thanks.

They sound interesting I will make them this morning. I am going to have to take a risk on the yellow cake mix and just use a butter cake mix so wish me luck!

Yummy. I'd use a lemon cake mix and maybe add a few drops of lemon flavoring.

I am just waiting for the mix to sit for 30 minutes then I am ready to bake them! I ended up putting a tsp lemon juice instead of the vanilla and using a buttercake mix. If the finished cookie tastes anything like the raw mixture I'll be very happy cause its delicious! My daughter said it tastes like cheesecake.
Looking forward to eating these in the very near future.

I'm with you, Barbara! I love cream cheese!! Wouldn't any flavor cake mix work? And maybe like pds said, add a little flavoring to the mix, too.
