Ingredients:
Make sure you have these four basic ingredients on hand to make cool whip cookies.
- 1 – 8 oz package Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 box of cake mix, flavor of choice (we used Devil’s Food chocolate)
- 1 egg
- 1 cup powdered sugar
How to Make the Recipe:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line your cookie sheet(s) with parchment paper and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the box cake mix, egg, and Cool Whip. Mix until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. A large bowl and hand mixer can be used in place of a stand mixer.
- Use a small ice cream scoop or small cookie scoop to measure out the dough. Roll the dough into balls and then coat them in powdered sugar by rolling balls of dough in a small bowl filled with powdered sugar.
- Place the coated cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them a few inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is no longer glossy.
- Allow the baked cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire cooling rack or serving platter.

Try any cake mix flavors like strawberry cake mix, orange cake mix, even spice cake mix would be good for fall.
Mix-ins: You can also mix in chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit for added flavor and texture.
