Ohh yes, I went there. That’s right. Kahlua Mocha Gooey Butter Cookies. And they are goooooood! 

Rich chocolate Kahlua Mocha Gooey Butter Cookies are a popular favorite around here in St. Louis, but you can make them in your own kitchen wherever you are!

Kahlua Mocha Gooey Butter Cookies

I’m a St. Louis girl and we love our Gooey Butter Cake.

I have a knack for changing up the traditional cake recipe and making it festive for the season with both my Egg Nog Gooey Butter Cake recipe and Gingerbread Gooey Butter Cake recipe.

But I haven’t tackled Gooey Butter Cookies here yet.

But I did just that. And I didn’t just do it, I did it the right way, I kicked a traditional Gooey Butter Cookie recipe up a notch with delicious Kahlúa Mocha.

I love using Kahlúa in my recipes.

Kahlua Mocha Gooey Butter Cookies

It adds flavor in ways that nothing else does.

And it’s easy because most of the time it can be used in place of any extracts a recipe calls for.

I have a great chocolate sauce recipe with Kahlúa, that we make all the time in the summer.

I have made brownies, muffins, cakes, even a chocolate pie.

Some of those very recipes will be making an appearance on my blog in the coming weeks.

But for now, I just want to bask in the glory that is these amazing little gems of Gooey Butter goodness made all the better with that splash of Kahlúa Mocha.
