Kentucky Butter Cake Cookies
Kentucky Butter Cake Cookies take the rich, buttery flavor of the classic cake and transform it into a soft, chewy cookie topped with a sweet vanilla glaze. Quick, easy, and impossible to resist!
Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- water
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the dough: In a large bowl, stir together the cake mix, whisked eggs, and melted butter until a thick dough forms.
- Scoop and bake: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 7-8 minutes until set but still soft.
- Cool the cookies: Let them rest on the baking sheet for 4-5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the glaze: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together butter, sugar, water, and vanilla for 4 minutes until smooth.
- Glaze the cookies: Spoon 1 teaspoon of glaze over each cookie, spreading gently if needed. Let it set for a few minutes.
- Optional final touch: Dust with powdered sugar for extra sweetness before serving.
