Kentucky Butter Cake Cookies

INGREDIENTS
1 box white cake mix
2 eggs, beaten
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
For the glaze:
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Powdered sugar, for dusting

PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
Using a tablespoon sized cookie scoop, drop dough onto prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Bake in preheated oven for 7-8 minutes. Remove from oven and let cook on baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies might look underdone, but they’ll continue to cook on the baking sheet.
While the cookies cool, make the glaze.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the butter, sugar, water, and vanilla. Cook until sugar has dissolved, whisking constantly, 4-5 minutes.
Spoon glaze over cooled cookies. Let set and dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
