My friend Lisa posted a recipe for Gooey Butter Cookies that I just had to try! I had all of the ingredients so I made a double batch and took a half a batch to each house for Christmas Eve/Christmas Day.
When I first saw her recipe, I immediately wondered how great a chocolate version would be! I found out on New Year's Eve, when I made a batch of each! YUM!!!!!
Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies

- Roll into balls to desired size.
- Roll in powdered sugar.
- Bake at 350* for 9-12 minutes.
I plan on making these, using Lemon cake mix for Easter.
I just made the chocolate gooey cookies and they are incredible...I wonder if I substitute the chocolate to the french vanilla cake mix if that will work? any ideas? Thanks
ReplyDeleteI think the french vanilla cake mix would be a great alternative. I've tried lemon cake mix, yellow cake mix and chocolate with great success! Just over the weekend, my nieces made them using funfetti cake mix. I don't think there's any way you could ruin this super-easy recipe! Try them with the French Vanilla mix, come back and let us know how they turn out!
ReplyDeleteOur absolute favorite is red velvet cake mix.
ReplyDeleteThough I have tried yellow, chocolate, strawberry, and lemon too. I am going to have to try out using funfetti next. Or cherry chip might be good too. Yum! I also use a tsp of vanilla.
