Gooey Butter Cookies

"I have made these cookies several times and have tried several different cake mixes. Each cake mix results in a different texture and flavor. So it's important to know that the dough may not be easi..." See morely workable, but if that is the case just make a bar cookie instead of the individual cookies. The following cake mixes worked well: (just remember to refrigrate over night) -Lemon Cake Mix (nice dough)(use lemon extract instead of vanilla) and if you would like make a lemon glaze and drizzle over cookie when cooled. (These got a lot of rave reviews when I made them). - Cherry Chip cake mix (nice dough) got rave reviews, devils food cake mix (sticky dough)good taste, german chocolate (nice dough), Carmel cake mix (forget it, very sticky dough- is workable to some degree you just wont get as many cookies. Next I want try carrot cake mix, strawberry cake mix, and spice cake mix. I did discover that it's better to refrigrate over night and use a small cookie scoop, My scoop is big so once I scoop a cookie out of the dough I cut it in half, roll it and then shake it in a baggy with powdered sugar. In my oven 12 min. exact is the cooking time any longer these cookies get a crispy burnt bottom. I hope everyone enjoys trying these other cake mixes as well as my family, neighbors and friends have. :) (update) Strawberry cake was pretty good. But our newest favorite rave review cake choice is Orange. I just made lemon cookies and orange cookies for a church social and then again "

"I suggest instead of using Yellow cake mix use Yellow Butter Cake Mix. The yellow butter cake mix give the cookie a texture that closer resemble the gooey butter cake...." See more"

"These cookies are incredibly delicious! I made them for a bake sale, and although they appeared kind of plain at first, once people tasted them, they came back for more! I cannot wait to try this reci..." See morepe with different flavors of cake mix next time. If you are lucky enough to have any left, they taste even better a few hours after they come out of the oven. One warning, though: It may seem as though the baking time may be off, but DO NOT OVERBAKE. It is just about right. The cookies will continue to cook a bit once they are out of the oven. They are soft and just melt in your mouth. The last thing you want is a burned cookie. Definitely try this one. Mmm mmm good."
