Gooey Butter Cookies Recipes

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.

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.
