Serves/Makes: 24
Ready in: < 30 minutes

  • 1 box (18.25 ounce size) yellow cake mix
  • 1 package (8 ounce size) cream cheese, softened
  • 4 tablespoons butter (not margarine), softened
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • powdered sugar

Mix all items together except the powdered sugar. Scoop spoonfuls of dough into balls then roll in powdered sugar

Bake on nonstick cookie sheet for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees F.

Cook's Notes: You can use any flavor of cake mix you wish, but the St. Louis style is to use the yellow. I have used chocolate, butter and lemon, all good

Gooey Butter Cake and Cookies have become very popular since Paula Dean showed up on TV however, Gooey Butter has been around in St. Louis for decades now. The cookies area nice bite size version of the cake, easy to make and disappear quick. I'd hoard them to myself it I were you!!
