Cake Mix Cookies with Butter
Description
Cake Mix Cookies with Butter are made by combining a standard white cake mix with extra flour and both softened and melted butter, creating a dough that holds its shape well during baking. The combination of the cake mix's sweetness and the richness of the butter provides a soft yet buttery cookie with a mild crumb. This dough can be rolled out and cut into shapes or pressed into cookies, offering versatility in presentation. Baking at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 14 to 16 minutes ensures the cookies bake through while maintaining a tender interior. This method relies on the melting and softening of butter for texture and flavor balance.
The dough might be stiff initially but softens with kneading, making it manageable to work with. By shaping the cookies as desired, you can create a variety of appearances. These cookies pair well with milk or a simple hot beverage, making them suitable for everyday snacking or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces white cake mix
- 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 2/3 cups butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Allow two sticks (1/2 pound) butter to reach room temperature and soften.
- Melt two sticks (1/2 pound) butter.
- In a small bowl, combine flour and melted butter. Mix well. You may wish to return this to the microwave so that this mixture is pourable.
- Pour melted butter mixture into the cake mix and add remaining softened butter. Mix until all ingredients have been incorporated and this is smooth. If the dough is stiff knead on a cutting board until it has softened.
- Shape as desired. You can roll out the dough and cut out cookies or use a cookie press.
- Bake cookies for 14-16 minutes or until done.
