Time 1h22m

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces cream cheese (227 grams, room temperature (1 brick))
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (113 grams, room temperature (1 stick))
1 large egg (50 grams, room temperature)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (4 grams)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
15.25 ounces Dark Chocolate Fudge Moist Chocolate Cake Mix (432 grams (1 box))
1 cup powdered sugar (113 grams (SEE NOTE))

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, approximately 3 minutes.
  • Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
  • Add the salt and cake mix and beat on medium until smooth, about 1½ minutes.
  • Refrigerate the dough for 1-2 hours, or until batter is firm enough to roll into balls.
  • When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl.
  • Roll the chilled dough into 1-tablespoon-sized balls and roll the balls in the powdered sugar. Place the cookies 2-inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Once the oven has fully preheated, bake the cookies for 12 minutes (no longer). The cookies will look and feel a little wobbly and soft.
  • Place tray on a cooling rack to cool for 2 minutes, and dust the cookies with more powdered sugar (I use a mesh sieve).
  • Transfer individual cookies to the cooling rack to completely cool.
  • Dust with more powdered sugar, if desired.

As a native of St. Louis, I wanted to make a cookie version of the famous gooey butter cake. And although many gooey butter cake recipes use a cake mix, my cookies are made from scratch.-Julia Nouss, Richmond, Virginia

CHOCOLATE GOOEY BUTTER COOKIES - PAULA DEEN



Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies - Paula Deen image

This recipe was on Paula's Food TV show. They are to die for! I made these because my partner will not eat anything with cream cheese in it. I thought I would actually have cookies to eat the next day. I was so wrong. I made a double batch and only had 3 cookies in all. I did not find these to be Gooey. More delicate and cake like. Be sure not to over bake. *Prep time includes 2 hour chilling time. *NOTE - On her show she did add oil...I don't know the amt. I added no oil the 4 times I have made these and I don't feel its needed...My hips agree :) UPDATE: I have also used FF Cream Cheese with good results. Any flavor cake mix works well! Please also note that the directions do state that dough will be very stiff. I use my stand mixer with no problems. Please use caution if using a hand mixer.

Time 2h27m

Yield 2 dozen, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
18 ounces moist chocolate cake mix
confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl cream the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
  • Beat in egg. Then add in the vanilla.
  • Add in the cake mix mixing in well. Dough will be VERY stiff. (if using a hand mixer be careful)
  • Cover and refrigerate 2 hours until firm enough to roll into balls.
  • Roll the chilled dough into tablespoon sized balls.
  • Roll in confectioner's sugar.
  • Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart.
  • Bake 12 minutes.
  • (The cookies will remain soft and look somewhat under-baked.).
  • Allow to slightly cool and very carefully remove to wire racks to cool. (they are very delicate and tend to fall apart easily).
  • Cool completely. Sprinkle with more confectioners sugar if desired.

Tips:

  • For a fudgier texture, use dark chocolate chips or cocoa powder.
  • For a crispier texture, use less butter and flour.
  • To make the cookies extra gooey, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Be sure to line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.

Conclusion:

These chocolate gooey butter cookies are the perfect treat for any chocolate lover. They are soft, chewy, and packed with chocolate flavor. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these delicious cookies in no time. So next time you have a sweet tooth, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
