Oowey Gooey Butter Cookies created by Margaretbrock89

This is a recipe from the Blue Owl Restaurant and Bakery in Kimmswick, Missouri. Kimmswick is an historic town. This restaurant has even been featured on the Food Network. When I saw this recipe I couldn't wait to try it, so I did, it was delicious !!! I had so much faith in this recipe that I doubled it on the first try, and I am glad I did, they flew out of here with the family. The owner of the restaurant says this is a favorite and bestseller for them. I am sure you will enjoy it, this is one of the easiest recipes I have ever made, but it is one of the best ! Tastes like a Gooey Butter Cake!! I myself used parchment paper which made the cookies thicker and gooeyier if there is such a word LOL Prep time includes 30 min refrigeration.

ingredients

¹⁄₄ cup butter, softened (no substitutions)
¹⁄₄ teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 (18 ounce) box yellow cake mix
1 cup powdered sugar

directions

In a large bowl of electric mixer, beat together butter, vanilla, egg and cream cheese until light and fluffy.
Add cake mix; beat until well blended ( It will be very stiff).
Cover dough and chill 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Shape dough into 1 inch balls; roll in powdered sugar. Place about 1 1/2 inches apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet, or you may use parchment paper. With the parchment paper they will not spread as much. Bake 12 minutes, DO NOT let cookies brown!
Let cookies cool and then sift additional powdered sugar over them.

These are amazing. Whoever says they aren't did not make them correctly. I whipped up a batch on Christmas Day while waiting for some other food to cook. They are to die for and very easy. They ended up being the favorite dessert - over all the pies, cakes, and even cake pops!
