Gooey Butter Cookies

Let me just start by saying, these cookies are in no way low fat, and honestly can't be.  They are rich cookies so eating one or two will suffice but if you share with your friends or co-workers, they will praise you and will ask for the recipe.


This recipe is inspired by Paula Deen and depending on your creativity, you can follow the recipe of hers or split off for your very own creation.  Her recipe calls for chocolate cake mix but any flavor will work.

Gooey Butter Cookies

To make the chocolate center, I wrap the dough around a Hershey's kiss.  Since there are so many flavors nowadays, let your creative side take hold and go with it!

Some combos:

Chocolate with Cookies N Creme Kisses
White with Milk or Dark Kisses
Yellow with Caramel Kisses
Devils Food with Meltaways or Mint Chocolate or Hugs

You can also use any type of chocolate candy you wish.  I stuck with kisses for the simplicity and size.  They also didn't come out hard or chewy after they cooled, probably due to the high fat content...

Live, Laugh, Love & Enjoy!!!
