Cake Mix Cookies Recipe With Cool Whip
A light and chewy cookie using cake mix! These cake mix cookies are mixed with egg and cool whip and dipped in powdered sugar for a delicious cookie!
Ingredients
- 1 Box of Cake Mix ( Your Choice )
- 1 Egg
- 1 Tub of Thawed Cool Whip
- 3 Cups Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.
- Put all the ingredients into a mixing bowl.
- Now, use a mixer (the kind that stands on its own or one you can hold) to mix everything together until it's really smooth, kind of like how ice cream feels.
- Get another bowl and put some powdered sugar in it. This is for making the cookies sweet and white on the outside.
- With a cookie scoop (or a spoon), scoop out bits of the dough. Put 3 or 4 into the powdered sugar bowl. Roll them around so they get all covered.
- Place these sugary dough balls onto a baking sheet that you’ve covered with parchment paper. This paper keeps them from sticking.
- Put the baking sheet in the oven and let the cookies bake for about 11 to 13 minutes. They need to cook just right – not too gooey and not too hard.
- When they’re done baking, take them out but let them sit on the baking sheet for 5 more minutes. They’re still cooking a little and getting even yummier.
- Last, move the cookies to a plate or a platter. Now they’re ready to eat and share!
