Coldfusion XML output injecting doc header info

I've been looking through things for the last number of hours, I can't figure this one out! Ultimately, I have some xml data that is coming in from a HTTPheader:

<cfset xmlPOST = GetHTTPRequestData().content>
<cfset xmlDOM = XmlParse(xmlPOST)>
<cfset BCsetup = xmlDOM.cXML.Request.PunchOutSetupRequest.BuyerCookie>

I'm attempting to get the BuyerCookie, use it, and place it into a new xml document. If I cfoutput BCsetup right now, it gives me the right value (lets say 12345).

The second I place it as an output into the XML, it throws <xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><BuyerCookie>12345</BuyerCookie> instead of 12345.

I've tried everything from toString() to cfsavecontent to try to resave the variable down and straight text, etc etc etc. I can't for the life of me figure out how to make this work.

UPDATED: Here's the code that is performing as described above:

<cfset BCsetup = xmlDOM.cXML.Request.PunchOutSetupRequest.BuyerCookie> 


<!DOCTYPE cXML SYSTEM "http://xml.cxml.org/schemas/cXML/1.2.020/cXML.dtd">
<cXML payloadID="2009-11-02T13:27:53+10:00" timestamp="2009-11-02T13:27:53+10:00">
  <Response>
    <Status code="200" text="OK"/>
    <PunchOutSetupResponse>
      <StartPage>
        <URL>https://mysite.com/testpost.cfm?BuyerCookie=<cfoutput>#BCsetup#</cfoutput></URL>
      </StartPage>
    </PunchOutSetupResponse>
  </Response>
</cXML>

<cfset BCsetup = xmlDOM.cXML.Request.PunchOutSetupRequest.BuyerCookie>

pulls in the entire XML element and not a specific value. If you change that to pull in xmlText it should fix your issue

<cfset BCsetup = xmlDOM.cXML.Request.PunchOutSetupRequest.BuyerCookie.xmlText>

I would recommend running <cfdump var="#BCSetup#" abort> after you set it to make sure you're getting the value you want.

Your code is getting the xmldom element not just its value, justadd .xmltext to the end to get the text only and not the element.
