Christmas Ooey Gooey Butter Cookies are cookies that will melt in your mouth and are full of colorful sprinkles to get you in the holiday spirit! Check out my Ooey Gooey Butter Cookies for a classic ooey-gooey cookie. Although my Ooey Gooey Butter Cake recipe is made with cake mix, I wanted to try a from-scratch version for the cookies.
You can make gooey butter cookies with just 8 ingredients and 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 350. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Cream together the butter, cream cheese, and sweetener with an electric mixer. Add in the egg yolk and vanilla and mix. Add in the rest of the dough ingredients and mix until incorporated.

Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer, beat butter, cream cheese and granulated sugar until blended. Add in egg and vanilla.
Egg yolk - just one egg yolk. Any more and your cookies will be cakey. Pure vanilla extract - to change it up add some lemon extract or almond extract instead. Blanched almond flour - almond flour has a mild flavor and a smooth texture great for low carb baking.
