Now that we’ve whet your appetite with some delicious visuals, it’s time to get into the nitty-gritty of what makes these cookies oh-so-special. Below are all the ingredients you’ll need to create this decadent treat!
Ingredients
- 1 box of cake mix (your preferred flavor, but yellow is classic)
- 1/2 cup of butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 egg (yes, another one!)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Time to get hot in here!
- In a large bowl, combine your cake mix, melted butter, and one egg. Mix until well combined. You’ll have a lovely thick dough that’s almost too good to resist!
- In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, the second egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This is the gooey part, and it’s about to blow your mind!
- Now, let’s get our hands dirty! Scoop out some of your cake mix dough and roll it into balls. Don’t worry about making them perfect – a little rustic charm is always welcome in baking!
- Place those balls of dough onto a greased baking sheet and make a little divot in the top of each. Then, scoop in a generous dollop of that creamy filling!
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes. You want them to be slightly golden around the edges but soft and gooey in the center!
- Let them cool for a minute before dusting them with powdered sugar. Because who doesn’t love a little extra sweetness on top?
And voila! You have created the ultimate gooey butter cookies that are the perfect balance of chewy, creamy, and finger-lickin’ good. Now, grab a glass of milk and dig in! Your cookie dreams have just come true!
