Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (approx. 15.25 oz) cake mix (any flavor)
- 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the entire box of dry cake mix, the thawed Cool Whip, and the egg. Mix until just combined into a soft dough. Do not overmix.
- Place the powdered sugar in a shallow dish.
- Scoop the dough by rounded tablespoons and roll each portion into a smooth ball.
- Roll each dough ball completely in the powdered sugar until fully coated.
- Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The cookies will look puffy and may have slight cracks.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use any flavor of cake mix you prefer, such as vanilla, lemon, or chocolate, to change the cookie flavor.
- For a crinkle cookie look, press the dough balls lightly with the bottom of a glass before baking, or rely on the powdered sugar coating to create the crinkles as they bake.
- These cookies are best eaten within 3 days for optimal soft texture.
