Cookies

1-1/2 cups salted butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
3 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups all purpose flour
1-1/2 cups yellow cake mix
1 TBS cornstarch
1-1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

Buttery Glaze + toppings

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp butter vanilla emulsion (Lorann brand) use vanilla if you don't have
powdered sugar for garnish

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375℉.

Scrape the sides of the bowl and add in the eggs and vanilla. Mix until well combined.

3. Lastly, add the flour, yellow cake mix, corn starch, baking soda and salt to the bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined. The dough will be soft.

7. Add in the butter vanilla emulsion. Stir to combine. 

8. Use a pastry brush to brush the glaze on top of the hot cookies.
