Good bye to a good friend

Rocky Coast cardigan KAL in her memory

In the Kitchen:

Lemon Gooey Butter Cookies
1 (8 oz.) brick cream cheese at room temperature
1 stick butter at room temperature
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 (18 oz.) box of lemon cake mix
Confectioner’s sugar

In large bowl with electric mixer, cream the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Beat in egg. Then beat in vanilla and cake mix. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours to firm up so that you can roll the batter into balls. Roll the chilled batter into tablespoon sized balls, then roll them in confectioner’s sugar. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes. Cookies will remain soft and “gooey”. Cool completely and sprinkle with more confectioner’s sugar.
You can also use other flavors of cake mix!
