October 30, 2012 by melinda-ann Leave a Comment

I found these gooey butter cookies during my search for the perfect sugar cookie. They look so yummy and I love that I can change up the flavors to make different cookies every time. Thanks for the recipe Just A Pinch!

Here’s what you need to make these:

1 box butter butter recipe cake mix (any flavor you like)
1 stick of butter
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1 8 oz. package of cream cheese
1 egg

Here’s how to make them -> Gooey Butter Cookies Tutorial
