Cool Whip Cookies are light, fluffy, and delightfully sweet, with a soft, pillowy texture that melts in your mouth. Made with just three main ingredients—cake mix, Cool Whip, and an egg—these cookies are as simple as they are delicious. The batter comes together in minutes, and the cookies bake up beautifully soft with a lightly crispy edge. Dusting them with powdered sugar before baking creates a lovely crinkle effect and adds just a touch of sweetness. With endless flavor options from various cake mixes, Cool Whip Cookies are the perfect quick dessert for any occasion!
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) cake mix (any flavor, such as chocolate, lemon, or strawberry)
- 1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, Cool Whip, and egg. Stir until well blended. The dough will be sticky, which is normal.
- Shape the Cookies: Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl. Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, scoop out tablespoons of dough and drop them into the powdered sugar. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated, then place on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly crinkled. The cookies should be soft in the center.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
