Description
Easy Cool Whip cookies made with cake mix create soft, crinkle-style cookies that are colorful, nostalgic, and perfect for quick baking with minimal ingredients.
Ingredients
1 box (15.25 oz / 432 g) cake mix (any flavor)
2 cups Cool Whip, thawed
1 large egg
½ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the dry cake mix, Cool Whip, and egg.
- Beat with a mixer until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sticky dough for 30 minutes.
- Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl.
- Scoop portions of dough and roll them in the powdered sugar to coat completely.
- Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly golden and the tops are crackled.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chilling the dough is essential to make it easier to handle.
Any cake mix flavor works well, including lemon, chocolate, or funfetti.
Cookies will appear soft when done but firm up slightly as they cool.
Parchment paper can be used instead of greasing the pan.
