Thick, moist, and flavorful describe these delicious Gooey Butter Cookies. Made from scratch, but I've got a cake mix option if you're in a pinch!

Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened, unsalted
- 8 ounce cream cheese softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 egg large
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar until creamy, about 3 minutes.
- Add in eggs and almond extract, beat until fluffy.
- Mix in flour, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Once chilled, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Scoop out cookie dough with a 2 Tbsp scoop. If your hands are sticky, dip them in the powdered sugar first. Drop cookie dough into powdered sugar and roll in sugar until generously coated.
- Place on baking sheet and bake for 11-13 minutes. Remove and cool completely on wire rack. Enjoy.
Notes
- Allow the butter and cream cheese to soften at room temperature before you start making the dough.
- Be sure to chill the dough! It's hard to be patient, but this is a must. It helps solidify the butter to a chilled state, which allows the gooey butter cookies to stay thick and fluffed.
- Sticky hands? Dip your fingers in powdered sugar before working with the dough. This keeps the dough from getting stuck to your hands as you go.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. This helps the cookies slide right off and allows for easy clean up after the cookies are baked!
