- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
- Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, Cool Whip, and egg. Stir until well combined. The dough will be thick and sticky, which is normal.
- Form the cookies: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to scoop out dough portions (about 1 tablespoon each). Roll each portion into a ball using your hands.
- Coat in powdered sugar: Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar until it is fully coated. This gives the cookies a beautiful crackly appearance after baking.
- Place on baking sheet: Arrange the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies: Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops have cracked. The cookies will be soft in the center, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To Serve:
Once cooled, these cookies are ready to serve. They have a soft, chewy texture with a slight crispness on the outside due to the powdered sugar coating.
Tips:
- Cake mix flavors: Experiment with different cake mix flavors for a variety of cookie types. For example, use chocolate cake mix for chocolate Cool Whip cookies or lemon cake mix for a citrusy twist.
- Add-ins: You can customize your cookies by adding chocolate chips, nuts, or sprinkles for extra flavor and texture.
- Storage: Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
These Cool Whip cookies are soft, fluffy, and easy to make, perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings with minimal effort!
