cook's notes
You should use any flavor of cake mix you want, however the St. Louis style is by using the yellow. I have tried personally chocolate, butter and lemon, great
Gooey Butter Cake and Cookies have grown to be extremely popular since Paula Dean demonstrated on TV however, Gooey Butter has existed in St. Louis for many years now. The cookies area nice bite size form of the wedding cake, simple to make and disappear quick. I'd hoard these to myself it' had you been!!
