If you've never tried a Kentucky Butter Cake, it's a butter-based cake with a sweet buttery sauce sprayed on from the outside and allowed to soak in, creating a moist, sweet, and, well, buttery cake. These cookies are inspired by that cake, and they're just as delectable and buttery as the cake, just more pleasantly bite-sized and much easier to prepare.
There is no rolling or chilling of dough required here; they just drop cookies that take only a few minutes to prepare. The batter's foundation is really white cake mix, which saves time but also helps make these cookies soft and cakey. (Crispy cookie devotees, please give them a fair shot.)
When they come out of the oven, they may seem underdone, but they will firm up somewhat as they cool. They're supposed to be soft, delicate, and buttery, so avoid the temptation to overcook them.
While they cool, you'll need to prepare a quick glaze mainly comprised of – you guessed it – butter. It's a lovely golden liquid that you'll pour over each cookie before dusting with powdered sugar. A little goes a long way; a teaspoon or two per cookie is plenty; otherwise, you'll end up with a pool of delicious, buttery liquid around them all. However, I guess there are worse problems to have.
YOU'LL NEED A FEW INGREDIENTS, WHICH ARE AS FOLLOWS:
– A white cakeMix box.
– 2 medium beaten eggs.
– 6 large sp.Of butter, you'll need to melt it.
– A half small sp.Of salt.
FOR THE GLAZE, WE ONLY USED FIVE BASIC INGREDIENTS:
– A quarter Cup.Of unsalted butter.
– A half-cup.Of granulated sugar.
– 1 large sp.Of water.
– 2 small sp.Of vanilla extract.
– Powdered sugar, we need it for dusting.
PREPARATION:
– Step 1: First, you need to turn the oven's temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
– Step 2: Next, you'll combine the cake mix box with eggs, and melted butter in a large mixing basin, and beat until everything is well-combined.
– Step 3: Then, place the dough onto the baking sheet, approximately 2 inches apart, using a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop.
– Step 4: And now, bake it for around 8 minutes in a preheated oven.
– Step 5: After that, remove from the oven and let to rest for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool fully.
Note: The cookies may seem underdone at this point, but they will continue to bake on the baking sheet.
– Step 6: Make the glaze while the cookies are cooling; just combine the butter, sugar, water, and vanilla in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until the butter is melted.
– Step 7: Cook the mixture for approx. 5 minutes, stirring continuously, until the sugar has completely dissolved.
– Step 8: Finally, pour the glaze over the cookies once they have been allowed to cool, and allow them to set before dusting with powdered sugar.
