Description
These Cool Whip Cookies are a quick and easy treat made with just three ingredients—cake mix, Cool Whip, and an egg—resulting in soft, fluffy, and tender cookies that melt in your mouth. Rolled in powdered sugar and baked to perfection, they offer a deliciously light texture with a hint of sweetness, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 box (15.25 oz) cake mix (any flavor)
- 1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 large egg
Coating
- ½ cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, thawed Cool Whip, and the egg. Stir until the dough is well incorporated; it will be sticky and soft.
- Coat Dough Balls: Pour the powdered sugar into a small bowl. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll each into a ball. Then, roll each ball thoroughly in the powdered sugar to coat them completely.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cookies are set and the edges become lightly golden.
- Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can use any flavor of cake mix to customize the cookie taste.
- If the dough is too sticky to handle, chilling it briefly can help.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- These cookies have a soft and cakey texture rather than crispy.
