Butter Cake Cookies

Butter Cake Cookies are a delightful twist on the classic butter cake, combining the rich, buttery flavour with the satisfying texture of a cookie. These treats are made with simple ingredients like butter cake mix, cream cheese, butter, and eggs, resulting in a soft, melt-in-your-mouth experience that’s perfect for any occasion. With their golden edges and chewy centers, they can be enjoyed plain or adorned with a sprinkle of icing sugar, enhancing both their presentation and taste. Ideal for afternoon tea or a sweet snack, Butter Cake Cookies bring the comforting essence of home baking to every bite.

Baking Tips:

• Variations: You can use a wide variety of different cake mix flavors, such as classic vanilla, rich chocolate, or fruity strawberry, to create delightful and delicious treats for everyone to enjoy.

• Chilling time: I highly recommend chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before using it. This dough tends to be quite sticky, and it becomes significantly easier to work with after it has been chilled for a little while. While you don’t necessarily have to refrigerate the dough if you find yourself in a hurry, do keep in mind that you will likely end up with messy fingers if you skip this step.
