Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
- Place the cream cheese and butter in the bowl of a mixer and beat until fluffy and thoroughly combined, 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg, vanille and white cake mix to the bowl. Beat on low speed until just combined.
- Cover the bowl and chill for 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough into 1 inch balls, then coat each ball in sprinkles. Place 2 inches apart on the sheet pan. You will need to work in batches.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are just set. Cool for 5-7 minutes then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat the process with the remaining cookie dough.
- Serve, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Make sure your box of cake mix is 15 1/4 oz. Some boxes are smaller and will not work well with this recipe.
- Your cookies will form some cracks as they bake. This is normal and part of the charm of these rustic looking cookies.
- Be sure not to over bake your cookies! They're meant to be soft and gooey.
- Traditional gooey butter cookies are rolled in powdered sugar, so you can try it that way if you prefer instead of using sprinkles.
