Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 15.25-ounce box cake mix (any flavor; for example, strawberry or 432 g)
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ cups Cool Whip (or whipped topping)
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the cake mix, egg, and whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Chill Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate it for 30 minutes to firm up, which helps in shaping the cookies.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) to prepare for baking.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Form Dough Balls: Shape the chilled dough into 1 to 1 ½ inch balls, ensuring even sizes for consistent baking.
- Coat with Powdered Sugar: Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar until fully coated, then place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. The centers may appear soft, but avoid overbaking to maintain a tender texture.
Notes
- Feel free to experiment with different cake mix flavors to customize your cookies.
- Use a cookie scoop to ensure uniform dough balls and consistent baking results.
- Do not overbake; cookies should be soft in the center right out of the oven as they will firm up upon cooling.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
