Soft, chewy, and bursting with rich buttery flavor, Christmas Ooey Gooey Butter Cookies are the ideal sweet addition to holiday gatherings and dessert tables.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Powdered sugar for dusting optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add the powdered sugar gradually, mixing until well combined.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, and mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop tablespoons of dough onto a lined baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden but the center remains gooey.
  • Remove from oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  • Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
