Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 box (15.25 oz) cake mix (any flavor)
- 1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 large egg
Coating
- ½ cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, thawed Cool Whip, and the egg. Stir until fully blended into a sticky dough.
- Prepare Coating: Pour the powdered sugar into a small bowl, which will be used for rolling the cookie dough balls.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll each one thoroughly in the powdered sugar to coat them completely.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until the cookies are set and the edges turn lightly golden.
- Cool Cookies: Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- You can use any flavor of cake mix to customize the cookie flavor including chocolate, vanilla, or red velvet.
- Make sure the Cool Whip is fully thawed for easier mixing.
- Do not overbake; the cookies will remain soft and tender.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a lower sugar option, consider using powdered sugar substitutes.
