Easy Gooey Butter Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.25 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a shallow bowl with powdered sugar. Gather all your ingredients for a smooth baking process.
2. In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. Then, mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Add the yellow cake mix to the creamed mixture and stir until everything is thoroughly combined. Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls for baking.
4. Roll each ball of dough in the powdered sugar, ensuring they are fully coated. Place the sugared cookie dough balls 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly golden around the edges.
6. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and carefully transfer them to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy!
