GOOEY BUTTER COOKIES

These gooey butter cookies are a handheld version of the famous cake.  They’re soft, gooey and totally irresistible! Roll them in sprinkles for a fun and festive look.

I make gooey butter cookies, along with stained glass cookies and peppermint bark cookies every year around the holidays. They’re great for cookie exchanges and take just minutes to put together. You can’t stop at just one cookie!

You’ve probably heard of gooey butter cake, but have you ever tried gooey butter cookies? They are SO very delicious and couldn’t be any easier to make. I’ve rolled these cookies in sprinkles to dress them up for the holidays!

HOW DO YOU MAKE GOOEY BUTTER COOKIES?
This recipe starts with a box of cake mix. I use white cake mix, but yellow or chocolate cake mix would also be great options. The cake mix is combined with cream cheese, butter, egg and vanilla extract to make a thick dough.

INGREDIENTS

• 8 ounces cream cheese softened
• 1/2 cup butter softened
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 18 1/4 ounce box white cake mix
• 1 cup sprinkles

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
2. Place the cream cheese and butter in the bowl of a mixer and beat until fluffy and thoroughly combined, 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the egg, vanille and white cake mix to the bowl. Beat on low speed until just combined.
