For instance if you substituted a strawberry cake mix in this recipe that would be awesome and taste like a strawberry cheesecake cookie. You could use chocolate cake and make Chocolate Ooey Gooey Cookies and so and so on. There are several cake mix flavors on the market, lemon, chocolate chip, cherry, and more. I will definitely be trying out a few different variations, so I will let you know how it goes. When baking these cookies you really need to keep and eye on them or you can burn them very easily.
Gooey Butter Cookies
1 - 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/2 - cup butter, softened
1- egg
1/4 - teaspoon vanilla
1 - 15 ounce yellow or butter cake mix
1/2 - cup powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese and butter.
Stir in egg and vanilla. Add cake mix & stir until well blended. Powder sugar your hands well. Roll balls into 1" or 2" and roll balls thoroughly in powdered sugar.
Place 1" apart on un greased cookie sheets press down cookie slightly. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes. Leave on cookie sheet for 3 minutes or more before removing to cool on wire racks.

Reeni my dd loves to dress that part. she is so funny sometimes.
Hi Rachel these cookies are so hard not to like. I bet you could do a lemon cake mix in place of the yellow.
Georga, thanks for stopping by MK and thank you for the kinds words.
In fact EVERY recipe on your blog is a "gotta try that"!
Happy New Year to you and yours!

I have been making these since Paula Deen did (she did Chocolate) This Christmas, they went on all of my "neighbor cookie trays" and everyone wanted the recipe. I made chocolate ones with Andes mint chips mixed in and I made the lemon (using lemon extract as well as lemon cake) then melted white chocolate chips and drizzled them over top....simply sublime!
Thanks!
