I fell in love with cooking as a little girl, sitting on the counter, helping Mom cook. That shared love of cooking is what this blog is all about. I want this to be a place where we can all share and learn from each other all our favorite recipes, kitchen tips, and more. From how to fry an egg to Grandma's tried and true classics to your favorite olive oil. I hope everyone enjoys the blog, has fun with it, and will contribute your own ideas.

Gooey Butter Cookies

My  Sister-in-law, Jamie, made these for our family baking night last night and they were SOOOO good. They aren't rich or too sweet, they are just buttery and the perfect amount of sweet. I am so glad she accidentally left her recipe card here so I could copy down this one! 
Gooey Butter Cookies

 1 stick butter (soft) 
1 stick cream cheese (soft) 
1/4 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 box yellow cake mix

 Preheat oven to 350. 
Cream together all ingredients except cake mix, then add cake mix and incorporate well. Chill in fridge 30 minutes. Roll into ball, dip in powdered sugar, place on cookie sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes at 350. 
UPDATE: Just saw this exact recipe on the food network website by Paula Dean, she just changed the cake mix to chocolate flavor and made them chocolate instead. This is a good idea- you can change the cake mix to lemon, chocolate, strawberry.. you name it... and change the flavors. Now I have to try these in lemon and strawberry!!
