Despite having grown up in the Midwest, I had never heard of the cookies before.
I was hooked at first bite.
Gooey butter cookies originated in St. Louis as a take on classic Gooey Butter Cake.
Like the cake, these butter cookies are dense with a fudge-like consistency.
The powdered sugar-rolled shell becomes crisp when baked and serves as the perfect contrast for the soft interior.
Since the dough starts with a cake mix, the recipe is very easy to make.
