Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (about 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 dry cake mix, thawed Cool Whip, and the egg. Mix with a spoon or electric mixer until just combined into a soft dough. Do not overmix.
- Pour the powdered sugar into a shallow dish.
- Scoop the dough by rounded teaspoons 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 9 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set. The centers will look soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely. The crinkles will set as they cool.
Notes
- Use any flavor of cake mix you prefer, such as chocolate, yellow, or red velvet, for different cookie results.
- For extra fluffy cookies, make sure your Cool Whip is fully thawed but not deflated.
- These cookies are best eaten within 3 days and store well in an airtight container at room temperature.
