How many cookie posts is too many cookie posts? That is the
question I asked myself as I made yet another batch of cookies and
prepared to put the recipe on this blog. But then I remembered a quote from one
of my favorite movies (do not judge me)…
Here’s the thing – everyone loves cookies. They’re easy to
make and easy to eat. Show up anywhere with a plate of cookies and you’ll be
the instant favorite. When is the last time you've heard someone say, "Ughh cookies again? I hate it when you make delicious treats." Never. You've never heard anyone say that and I can guarantee no one ever will. So I've decided I'm going to keep baking cookies and posting the recipes until I turn into a cookie.
I was inspired to make these gooey butter cookies after
trying one at a brunch place in downtown Zionsville called Rosie’s Place. The
restaurant has a wide variety of baked goods, all displayed next to the cash
register. As I was waiting in line to pay, I was intrigued by a big yellow
cookie sprinkled with powdered sugar. So I decided to buy it. I had planned on
saving it for a snack later in the day, but I tried one bite of it and next
thing I know I had eaten the whole thing. It was soft yet dense and
definitely very rich. In a way it reminded me of the funfetti
blondies that I like to make.
When I got home I looked up the
recipe for the cookies online, and apparently Gooey Butter Cake is a popular
St. Louis dessert. I've never been to St. Louis, but if all of their desserts
are this good than I may have to check it out.
Anyway, I found several different sources online with a Gooey Butter Cookie recipe and they were all pretty much the same. The ingredient list and the directions are very simple and the cookies come together in less than 10 minutes. The most time consuming part (and most fun part) is rolling the cookie dough balls in the powdered sugar.

Gooey
Butter Cookies
Yield: Makes about 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box of yellow cake mix
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Directions
- In a medium bowl, cream together cream cheese and butter until well blended (about 2 minutes)
- Add vanilla and egg to the bowl and blend until combined.
- Add in cake mix and blend until just combined.
- Chill dough for a half hour so it’s easy to form into balls. Dough will be very sticky if you skip this step.
- Once dough has been chilled for half hour, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
- Form dough into 1 inch balls and roll in powdered sugar (I poured my powdered sugar in a bowl but you could also do on wax paper). Place on baking sheet.
- Bake cookies for 9-10 minutes – no longer! You want the cookies to be very soft.
- Allow to cool on baking sheet for about 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Kylee, I was born and raised in St. Louis. Gooey Butter Cake originated here. The chef/baker was trying a new recipe and it was a "mistake", but it turned out so good, they continued to make and sell them. They are unique to our city and the cookies are a 'homage' to the cake.
ReplyDeletekylie, i believe Rosie's is in Noblesville, Indiana. Unless there's one in Zionsville too. All I know is, those are some of the yummiest cookies i've ever had!
ReplyDeletethanks for the recipe. I'm gonna try it out!
Nancianne, they opened a location in Zionsville, Indiana a few years back! and I agree about the cookies, yummm!
DeleteThere's one in Carmel too!

ReplyDeleteHack West Credit repair has been AMAZING!!! Everyone should sign up via HACKWEST AT WRITEME DOT COM just to have access to their credit repair services. I spent MONTHS before signing up with Hack West Credit Repair trying to do my own research and kept having questions that I could not find the answers to anywhere else. My credit score has taken a big jump upwards and is still climbing since after Hack West began the process of fixing my report. Anytime I need help or have a question I am able to send a message or set up a call and they have always responded very quickly with the answers I need. We are also getting ready to buy a house and are currently using the home path advantage program with Hack West Credit as well. Unlike other companies that will only tell you whether you are approved or denied for a home loan their home path advantage program will tell you why you didn't get approved and then help you by telling you exactly what you need to do to get the approval. I have used other credit repair companies in the past but they only focused on the deletions and would not help with anything else. Hack West takes the time to give you the information and tools you need to be able to this is absolutely the right company, you want to help you go through that process.
