A traditional gooey butter cake has three amazing layers – a thick bottom layer made from cake batter. Alight and creamy cream cheese and sugar layer and a thin, flaky crunchy layer that forms on top when it’s baked. It’s heavenly! It’s delightfully buttery and sweet, balanced with a little tang from cream cheese. Gooey butter cookies combine all those delicious flavors and layers into one fabulously gooey cookie!
