Y'all know I'm a big fan of doctoring up cake mix for cakes (my top 6 recipes here!), but there are so many other great ways to use cake mixes. For example, these cake mix cookies. I actually call them Butter Crisp Cookies and they are delish!
Well today I have a new recipe for you using cake mix and you're going to love it! By adding some cream cheese (you can't go wrong with cream cheese, right?), sugar, butter and a couple of other ingredients, you're going to create a sweet cheeseball that'll knock your socks off.

How to Make a Dessert Cheeseball
Once you have everything on hand, this dessert cheeseball is super easy to put together!
Start by putting the cream cheese, cake mix, butter, chocolate chips, powdered sugar, and vanilla into a large mixing bowl.
Mix until well combined.
Then roll into a ball. It will be sticky 😊 In a bowl big enough to hold the cheeseball, add about 1 inch of red sparkling sugar and drop your cheeseball in.
Turn your ball over and over, pressing into the sugar until the entire cheeseball is covered in sugar. Or pour it over the top and roll... however seems most fun to you!
Place in the middle of a plate and surround with vanilla wafers.
Sprinkle with white sugar.
TIP: If you don't have red and/or white sparkling sugar, you could also decorate the outside of the Cookie Dough Cheeseball with M&M's (bonus for Christmas one) or some other Christmasy sprinkles! Get creative and have fun!
Serve and enjoy!
