Step #1
1 box Dunkin Hines butter flavored yellow cake mix
1 egg, beaten
1 stick margarine (room temperature)
Mix with spatula of by hand. Put in two long Pyrex dishes without greasing. Press down after it is mixed real good. I have a little bowl with flour in it, and as I press down, I put my fingers in it so they don’t stick to the mixture [IMPORTANT!]

Step #2
1 box powdered sugar
3 eggs (well beaten)
1 (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
Mix with mixer and put on top. This will be thin. Bake @350 for about 40 minutes. When done, cookies will turn light brown. Don’t overcook.

(notes from Laurie: Did some editorializing on this one. A box of powdered sugar is too much. I took the cookies out about 7 minutes early.)
