Light, chewy and brownie like! This is how I would describe the famous Cool Whip cookies! Just 4 ingredients and you’ll have a batch full of these ready to eat. You can use any cake mix you want. I choose devils food cake mix but I think red velvet and even a fudge chocolate would do just as good!

The lightness and texture might surprise you! Because of the cool whip these cookies aren’t as dense as a normal cookie which is a nice surprise. It reminds me of meringue. These are fast cookies that come together in no time! I hope you like them!

How to Make Cake Mix Cookies with Cool Whip

You’ll need the following ingredients to get started!

Just a Few Ingredients

  • 1 Box of Cake Mix
  • 1 8oz Container of Cool Whip
  • 1 Egg
  • Powdered Sugar

Step by Step Instructions with Pictures

  • 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!
