Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 box cake mix (any flavor: vanilla, chocolate, or red velvet, approximately 15.25 oz)
- 1 cup Cool Whip (thawed)
- 1 large egg
Coating
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the cookies evenly.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, Cool Whip, and egg. Stir thoroughly until a sticky dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Form Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, scoop small portions of the dough. Roll each portion in powdered sugar until fully coated to create a sweet, crackled exterior.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Place the coated dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cookies are slightly cracked on the surface and set. Avoid overbaking to maintain softness.
- Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for several minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Choose any cake mix flavor to customize your cookies to your liking.
- Make sure the Cool Whip is thawed before mixing to ensure smooth incorporation.
- Don’t overbake; cookies should be soft and slightly cracked on top.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For a festive touch, try rolling the cookies in colored sugar instead of powdered sugar.
