Gooey Butter Cookies

My Aunt Sadie recently visited Texas and brought these amazing cookies.

She was nice enough to share her recipe and I'm sharing it with y'all.  I decided to make them yesterday for dessert.  I have no idea how many this recipe makes since the kids were eating them as fast as I could pull them off the cookie sheets.

The Ingredients

Yep, just 3 items, oops, 4...I forgot to include the powdered sugar.  You mix the cake mix, 2 eggs, and a full tub of cool whip.  Then you drop a spoonful in some powdered sugar to coat it.  Place on a cookie sheet, than bake 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees.

That's it, very simple and oh so good.  Now I will say these were very messy, the dough is more like cake batter than cookie dough.  I sprayed my cookie sheets with cooking spray but I don't know if that's necessary.  I also only put about 6 on a cookie sheet because they expand a lot.  The "official" recipe is below.  Enjoy!
