GOOEY BUTTER COOKIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar together until smooth.
• With the mixer running, add in the egg and then the almond extract.
• In a separate bowl, stir the flour, baking powder, and ¼ cup powdered sugar together.
• With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry flour mixture to the already creamed mixture.
• Once smooth, remove the bowl from the mixer and cover. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill.
• Line a large sheet pan with nonstick parchment paper. Place the extra ¼ cup powdered sugar (for rolling) in a shallow bowl.
• Once chilled, use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to create a cookie dough ball and immediately roll the cookie dough ball fully in powdered sugar.
• Place powdered sugar covered cookie dough balls on the baking sheet, 6 at a time, and bake for 10-11 minutes. When they're no longer wet on top and are firm on the sides, they're done. We prefer them on the shorter cook time so they're extra gooey.
• Allow to cool on the sheet pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

• Add the Butter flavor cake mix.
• Put in the frig overnight.
• The next day.
• Preheat oven to 350.
• Spray cookie sheet very lightly ( if you use parchment paper don't spray cookie sheet, I prefer the parchment paper).
• Roll dough into balls (about the size of a walnut), roll into powdered sugar.
• Put onto cookie sheet ( I put them 3 in a roll and space out, and only have 4 rolls).
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes.
• Remove from oven, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
• Let stand on cookie sheet for a few minutes.
• Then remove and let cool.

GINGERBREAD GOOEY BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Combine 2 1/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon flour, ginger, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, allspice, nutmeg, and ground cloves in a bowl. Whisk to combine, then set aside.
• Combine cream cheese and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer. Blend on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy. Add white and brown sugar, molasses, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt. Blend on medium-high speed until smooth. Add in egg and egg yolk and blend again on medium speed, 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides as necessary.
• Add the dry mixture slowly just until dough is blended, scraping down sides as necessary. Dough will be very soft. Cover work bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to overnight, to allow dough to chill and firm.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line baking sheets with Silpat® mat or parchment paper.
• Roll dough into approximately walnut-sized balls. Pour confectioners' sugar into a bowl and roll dough balls in the sugar until very well coated. Set on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1 1/2 to 2 inches of space in between, about 8 to 12 cookies per sheet, depending on how large you decide to make the cookies.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are just starting to firm and become golden browned and the center looks mostly set, 15 to 17 minutes. Cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes before carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool. This should yield a chewy cookie with slightly crispy edges. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
