For the cookies, I wanted simple, mindless, and guaranteed-to-work.

1/2 cup unsalted butter, very soft
8 ounces cream cheese, brick-style (must use full-fat cream cheese; not lite, whipped, spreadable, etc.)
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
one 18.25-ounce box red velvet cake mix, sifted (don't skip sifting or you'll have lumps that won't incorporate; if the brand of cake mix you use is slightly larger, that's fine, but smaller is not okay or the dough will be too wet)
12-ounces (1 bag) semi-sweet chocolate chips

To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or large mixing bowl and electric mixer) combine the butter, cream cheese, egg, vanilla, and beat on medium-high speed until creamed and well...
