Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (about 15.25 oz) cake mix (any flavor)
- 1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 large egg
- About 1 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, the 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 tablespoons 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 10 to 12 minutes. The cookies will puff up and may look slightly underdone in the center.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will settle and develop their crinkle texture as they cool.
Notes
- You can use any flavor of cake mix for this recipe, such as chocolate, lemon, or vanilla.
- For a festive look, use white cake mix and roll the dough balls in colored sugar instead of powdered sugar.
- These cookies are best eaten within 3 days for the softest texture.
