How To Make goey butter cookies

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Step 2
    Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a handheld mixer beat the butter until lump-free and smooth.
  • Step 3
    Add the cream cheese and beat on medium speed until blended and creamy.
  • Step 4
    Reduce the speed to medium-low and add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until incorporated.
  • Step 5
    Add the cake mix and continue mixing until blended, scraping down the bowl and beater as needed. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
  • Step 6
    Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop dipped in the powdered sugar, scoop the dough out and roll it through the powdered sugar. Place the cookie balls about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  • Step 7
    Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned on the edges.
