Recipe: St. Louis Gooey Butter Cookies – The Garage Plan Shop

Filed under Recipes

St. Louis Gooey Butter CookiesEvery region has its own special foods that you don’t find everywhere else in the nation.  In my area, we have a coffee cake with its own legend of being created accidentally and of course a rivalry as to which bakery actually sold it first.  These cookies are an adaptation of it.  Even if you are not familiar with the rich buttery gooey goodness of that cake, give these cookies a taste, and meet me in St. Louis sometime to try their inspiration.

 

St. Louis Gooey Butter Cookies

 

½ cup butter

¼ tsp vanilla

1 egg

1 pkg cream cheese(8 oz)

1 box butter recipe cake mix

Powdered sugar

 

Beat the butter, vanilla, egg and cream cheese.   Once it is light and fluffy, pour in the dry cake mix and mix it well.  Chill for thirty minutes.  Roll into balls about teaspoon size and coat with powdered sugar.  Place on lightly greased cookie sheets and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
