CHOCOLATE OOEY GOOEY BUTTER COOKIES

Paula Deen says that if the word “butter” is in the title, you know it’s gonna be good! You gotta love Paula Deen. These cookies are melt in your mouth delicious.

The best part is that you can use lemon cake mix or whatever you have and I am sure they would be fabulous. I even have Red Velvet Gooey Butter Bars here.

Go to foodnetwork.com to see all the variations. I can’t wait to try Paula’s Ooey Gooey Butter Cake. Her Pumpkin Ooey Gooey Butter Cake is one of the most popular.

I may try it for Thanksgiving. The key to these babies is to not OVERCOOK them. The first batch I overcooked and I was not impressed.

The second batch I cooked 10 minutes and they were a completely different cookie. They were gooey but set up a little after they cooled.
