Why You’ll Love This Recipe
• Minimal Ingredients: Just four items create delicious cookies in no time.
• Quick and Easy: Prepped, baked, and ready to enjoy in under 30 minutes.
• Versatile: Choose your favorite cake mix flavor for endless variations.
Ingredients
• 1 box (approximately 15.25 oz) cake mix (lemon, chocolate, or strawberry work well)
• 1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
• 1 large egg
• ½ cup powdered sugar (for coating)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, Cool Whip, and egg.
2. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended. The dough will be sticky—this is normal.
Step 3: Shape the Cookies
1. Scoop out teaspoons of dough and drop them into the powdered sugar.
2. Roll the dough gently to coat completely and shape into balls.
3. Place the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
Step 4: Bake
1. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops show slight cracks.
2. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft and fluffy.
Step 5: Cool
1. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes to firm up.
2. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
• Sticky Dough Solution: Lightly grease your hands or use a cookie scoop to handle the sticky dough more easily.
• Experiment with Flavors: Try different cake mix flavors like red velvet, funfetti, or spice for unique variations.
• Extra Zest: Add lemon zest or a splash of vanilla extract for added flavor depth.
Storage Options
• Room Temperature: Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Freezing: Freeze the baked cookies in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
