RCS 5th and 6th Grade Baking Club: Gooey Butter Cookies for the Win!
Our 5th and 6th grade Baking Club students are having a blast in the kitchen! This week, they whipped up some delicious Gooey Butter Cookies, and let’s just say... they were a hit! 🎉🍪 It’s been so fun to see these young bakers learning new skills and enjoying the process of creating something sweet.
We can’t wait to see what they bake up next!
Recipe:
1 yellow (or any flavor) cake mix
1 stick softened butter or margarine
8 oz. softened Cream Cheese
1 large egg
Powdered Sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together butter, cream cheese and egg until nice and creamy. Slowly start to mix in cake mix. Beat until all of the cake mix is well incorporated. Using a cookie scoop, scoop batter and drop into the powdered sugar. Roll batter until is completely covered with powdered sugar. Please onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly turning brown. Cool on the pan. Enjoy!
