Description
These Cool Whip Cookies blend creamy texture with simple ingredients for a delightful dessert. Light, airy treats emerge from mixing Cool Whip, cake mix, and eggs into a quick, irresistible cookie you can enjoy with family and friends.
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz / 432 g) cake mix (any flavor, such as vanilla, lemon, or chocolate)
- 1 tub (8 oz / 226 g) Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for optimal non-stick performance.
- Dough Creation: In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, Cool Whip, and egg, blending thoroughly until a cohesive, slightly tacky dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well-incorporated.
- Sugar Coating: Establish a shallow dish filled with powdered sugar for rolling the cookies, creating a delicate, sweet exterior.
- Cookie Shaping: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, gently rolling each piece in powdered sugar to achieve complete, uniform coverage, then carefully shape into round spheres.
- Baking Process: Arrange the sugar-coated cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them adequately, and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until edges turn a subtle golden brown and centers appear set.
- Cooling and Serving: Allow cookies to rest briefly on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling, presenting delicate, powdered sugar-dusted treats ready for immediate enjoyment or storage.
Notes
Soften Cool Whip Completely: Ensure Cool Whip is fully thawed and at room temperature to guarantee smooth, even mixing with cake mix and creating a consistent dough texture.
Prevent Sticky Hands: Lightly coat hands with powdered sugar while forming cookie balls to prevent excessive sticking and maintain clean, smooth cookie shapes.
Customize Flavor Variations: Experiment with different cake mix flavors like chocolate, lemon, or funfetti to create unique cookie variations that suit personal taste preferences.
Proper Storage Technique: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, separating layers with parchment paper to maintain their delicate powdered sugar coating.
