3 Ingredient Cool Whip Cookies
Description
This cookie recipe combines a box of cake mix, an 8-ounce container of whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), and one large egg. Mixing these ingredients produces a batter that is portioned with a cookie scoop, rolled in powdered sugar, and baked on a prepared cookie sheet. Baking at 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes yields cookies that are soft and slightly chewy.
The simplicity of the ingredients and method allows for quick preparation without sacrificing texture. The whipped topping adds moisture and lightness, which traditional cookies of just cake mix and egg do not have. Powdered sugar on the outside forms a thin, sweet coating as the cookies bake, enhancing appearance and flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 box cake mix
- 1 container whipped topping 8oz container, such as Cool Whip
- 1 egg large
- powdered sugar optional
Instructions
- To Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F and mist a large cookie sheet with non-stick spray.
- Add cake mix, whipped topping, and 1 egg to a large mixing bowl.
- Mix together until well combined.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to form Tablespoon sized dough balls, then roll them in powdered sugar.
- Place the sugar-coated cookie dough balls on the prepared pan and bake for 12-15 minutes.
Notes
- Mix all ingredients gently until combined to avoid overworking the batter.
- Use a medium cookie scoop for even-sized cookies and bake on a non-stick sprayed cookie sheet.
- Coating dough balls in powdered sugar before baking adds a light sweet crust.
- Bake between 12 to 15 minutes until set but still soft inside.
- Nutrition info varies based on the specific cake mix and whipped topping used.
