Holiday Gooey Butter Cookies

Step 1

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer. Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined.

Step 3

Add cake mix and salt and beat just until well blended. Stir in 1/2 of the sprinkles. Chill dough at least 1 hour and up to overnight.

Step 4

Scoop chilled dough out in rounded tablespoons and roll into 1-inch balls. Sprinkle with sprinkles, then roll in powdered sugar until completely covered.

Step 5

Place on prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart. Bake 8-10 minutes; cookies will be pale. Allow to sit on baking sheet 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
