These cookies were created in their namesake city of St. Louis and are a wonderfully delightful treat that is melt in your mouth delicious! There is a cake of the same name that was the original inspiration for these cookies and it is just as delicious but why eat a large piece of cake when you can have a large handful of these bad boys on the go!
According to local legend, the gooey butter cake that these cookies were inspired by was actually the result of an ingredient mix-up by a baker in the 1930's. I only wish that all of my culinary errors turned out this delicious! So let's take a moment and check out what we will need to make this awesome dish.
