The result is simply a sublime buttery, light and tender-crumbed cookie sweetened just right and full of flavor including an enchanting tang from cream cheese. You just can’t have one!

Everyone loves these classic cookies inspired by the cream cheese variant of Gooey Butter Cake hailing from the 1930s in the USA Midwest—St. Louis!
