Description
Soft, fluffy Cool Whip cookies made with just cake mix, Cool Whip, and an egg. Rolled in powdered sugar before baking, they come out with a crinkly top and melt-in-your-mouth texture. Quick, easy, and endlessly customizable.
Ingredients
1 box (15.25 oz) cake mix (any flavor, such as lemon, strawberry, chocolate, or red velvet)
1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
1 large egg
1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix cake mix, Cool Whip, and egg until well combined (dough will be sticky).
- Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll into balls.
- Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
- Place coated dough balls on the baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until set with slightly golden edges.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Dough is sticky—chill for 30 minutes to make rolling easier.
Experiment with different cake mixes: lemon, strawberry, chocolate, or funfetti.
Mix-ins like sprinkles, chocolate chips, or peppermint candies work well.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze up to 2 months.
For freezing dough, roll into balls, coat in powdered sugar, and freeze. Bake from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to bake time.
