Soft, buttery, and drizzled with a sweet vanilla glaze—these Kentucky Butter Cake Cookies are pure comfort in every bite. They have the same rich, melt-in-your-mouth flavor as the classic Southern butter cake but in a handheld, cookie form. They’re ridiculously easy to make with just a few simple ingredients.
I love a good shortcut in the kitchen, and using a cake mix as the base for these cookies makes the process so simple without sacrificing flavor. The dough comes together in minutes, and the glaze adds that signature buttery sweetness that keeps you coming back for more.
These cookies are perfect for holiday trays, afternoon treats, or just because you’re craving something homemade. They stay soft for days and taste even better the next day as the flavors settle in.
If you’re a fan of buttery desserts with a hint of nostalgia, this recipe is for you. Let’s get baking!
