Instructions:

Cookies:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, whisked eggs, and melted butter. Mix until completely incorporated. Note: The dough will be thick.
3. Using a medium-sized cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon, scoop cookies onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
4. Bake for 7-8 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on the cookie sheet for 4-5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Repeat until all the dough is baked.

Glaze:

1. In a small saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, water, and vanilla extract.
2. Cook over medium-low heat until the sugar is dissolved, about 4 minutes, whisking constantly.
3. Spoon a teaspoon of glaze over each cookie and spread out, if necessary.
4. Let the glaze set, then sprinkle with powdered sugar.
5. Store the Kentucky Butter Cake Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Enjoy these delightful cookies with a touch of Kentucky flair! 🍪✨
