Gooey Butter Cookies Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Gooey Butter Cookies Delight.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), creating the perfect environment for your cookies to bake.

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab a shallow bowl and pour in some confectioners' sugar, setting it aside for later.

3. Step 3

   In a medium mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to blend together softened cream cheese and butter until the mixture is delightfully creamy and smooth—this is where the magic begins! Next, add in an egg and a splash of vanilla extract, mixing until everything is beautifully combined.

4. Step 4

   Now, it’s time to introduce the yellow cake mix; gradually add it to your creamy concoction, stirring gently until the dough is fully blended and silky.

5. Step 5

   With your hands, roll the dough into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

6. Step 6

   Take each ball and roll it in the confectioners' sugar, making sure they’re generously coated, then place them about an inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

7. Step 7

   Pop the tray into your preheated oven and let them bake for 10 to 13 minutes, keeping an eye out for that perfect moment when the cookies are set yet still soft in the center.

8. Step 8

   Once they’re done, remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to wire racks, allowing them to cool completely.

9. Step 9

   Enjoy the sweet aroma filling your kitchen as you anticipate the delicious treats you’ve just created!.
