Christmas Ooey Gooey Butter Cookies 🎄❤️
These soft, melt-in-your-mouth butter cookies are perfect for the holiday season, with a rich, creamy center and a festive touch!
Ingredients
- Unsalted Butter: 1/2 cup, softened
- Cream Cheese: 1 (8-ounce) package, softened
- Egg: 1 large
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
- Yellow or White Cake Mix: 1 box (15.25-ounce)
- Powdered Sugar: 1 cup (for rolling)
- Red and Green Sprinkles: (optional, for decoration)
Directions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Make the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
- Gradually add the cake mix, mixing until the dough comes together. It should be soft but manageable.
Shape the Cookies
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball.
- Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar to coat.
- For a festive touch, add a few red and green sprinkles on top of each cookie.
Bake
- Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just set. The centers should still be soft for that “ooey-gooey” texture.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Preparation Time
- Active Prep: 15 minutes
- Bake Time: 10-12 minutes
- Total Time: 25-30 minutes
