OOOEY~GOOEY BUTTER~COOKIES... YUM !!!

OOOEY~GOOEY BUTTER~CAKE *COOKIES*... YUM !!

A ST. LOUIS *ORIGINAL* !!

SO ~~ WE WERE CRAVING SOME COOKIES THE OTHER NIGHT & DECIDED TO BAKE SOME. WE WENT TO THE PANTRY, BUT DIDN'T HAVE ANY CHOCOLATE~CHIPS THIS TIME... HERE IS WHAT WE DECIDED TO DO:

OOOEY~GOOEY BUTTER~CAKE COOKIES !!!
NOW, LET ME JUST SAY THAT THIS IS NORMALLY DONE AS A CAKE, BUT... WE THINK THAT COOKIES ARE LOTS MORE *FUN* !! ; *)

YOU WILL NEED:

: 1 EGG
: 1/4 TSP VANILLA
: 1/2 CUP OR 1 STICK OF BUTTER
: 1 8 OZ PKG OF CREAM~CHEESE
: 1 BOX BUTTER~RECIPE YELLOW CAKE MIX

: POWDERED~SUGAR


LETS GET STARTED:

* PREHEAT OVEN: 350 o
* LIGHTLY COAT COOKIE~SHEET WITH NON~STICK COOKING~SPRAY...
OR YOU CAN ALSO USE *PARCHMEMENT~PAPER* IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT THEM STICKING... THEY COME OFF THE PAN SOOO MUCH EASIER THIS WAY

TIME TO GET MIXING:

* MIX BUTTER, VANILLA, EGG & CREAM~CHEESE IN MEDIUM BOWL UNTIL BLENDED
* CONTINUE TO BEAT INGREDIENTS UNTIL LIGHT & FLUFFY
* MIX IN DRY CAKE MIX... JUST UNTIL INGREDIENTS ARE BLENDED
* CHILL IN REFRIGERATOR FOR 30 MINUTES

LETS GET COOKING:

* DROP BY ROUNDED *TEASOPOONFULS* IN SMALL BOWL OF POWDERED~SUGAR...
OR YOU CAN MAKE THEM LARGER, LIKE I DO !! ; *)
* BAKE FOR APPROX. 8~12 MINUTES OR UNTIL GOLDEN~BROWN...
** 8~9 MINUTES FOR CHEWY COOKIES (YUMMM~~ THIS IS THE WAY I LIKE THEM)
** OR APPROX. 12 MINUTES FOR A CRUNCHIER COOKIE

NOW IT'S TIME TO...

GO & GET YOUR GLASS OF MILK ALREADY ~ RICE OR SOY IF YOU PREFER & GET READY FOR SOME BUTTERY~YUMMINESS FOR YOUR TUMMY... AN OLD~SCHOOL *ORIGINAL* COMING TO YOU STRAIGHT OUT OF ST. LOUIS !! *CLICK~HERE* FOR A DEFINITION OF & *CLICK~HERE* FOR A LITTLE~BIT OF HISTORY. ; *)

ENJOY !!! ; *D MMMMMMM... MMMMMMM... GOOOOD !! ; *)~
