Kentucky Butter Cake Cookies 🍪🧈
Soft, buttery, and finished with a rich vanilla glaze—these cookies are like the mini version of the classic Kentucky Butter Cake! Perfectly sweet with that melt-in-your-mouth finish. 😍✨
🛒 Ingredients
Cookie Dough:
1 box white cake mix
2 eggs, whisked 🥚
1/3 cup butter, melted 🧈
Butter Glaze:
1/4 cup butter 🧈
1/2 cup granulated sugar 🍬
1 tbsp water 💧
1 tsp vanilla extract 🍦
👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat Oven
Heat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the Cookie Dough
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, whisked eggs, and melted butter. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Scoop and Bake
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until edges are just lightly golden.
Make the Glaze
While the cookies bake, heat the butter, sugar, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
Glaze Time
While cookies are still warm, brush or spoon glaze over each cookie. Let it soak in for a few minutes.
Cool & Devour
Allow cookies to cool completely so the glaze sets slightly. Enjoy these buttery bites with coffee or tea! ☕🍪
✨ Tips:
For extra flavor, sprinkle cookies with powdered sugar or a dusting of cinnamon sugar after glazing!
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days (if they last that long 😉).
