Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 box (15.25 oz) cake mix (any flavor)
- 1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 large egg
For Rolling
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, thawed Cool Whip, and egg. Stir until fully incorporated; the dough will be sticky and soft.
- Roll in Powdered Sugar: Pour the powdered sugar into a small bowl. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll each piece in the powdered sugar until completely coated.
- 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: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. The cookies should be set and lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up without breaking.
Notes
- You can use any flavor of cake mix to customize the taste of the cookies.
- Ensure the Cool Whip is fully thawed for easy mixing.
- Do not overbake; the cookies should remain soft inside.
- Powdered sugar coating adds a sweet contrast and keeps the cookies from sticking to your fingers.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
