Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 box lemon cake mix (any flavor or brand can be used)
- 1 (8-ounce) tub Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 large egg
Coating
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the box of cake mix, thawed Cool Whip, and the large egg. This forms the base dough of your cookies.
- Mix Thoroughly: Using a mixer set to medium speed, blend the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Chill Dough: Scrape the sticky batter into a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up the dough for easier handling.
- Preheat Oven: When ready, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet or two with parchment paper, or lightly grease them to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Sugar Coating: Pour the powdered sugar into a small bowl; you will use this to coat the cookie dough balls.
- Scoop and Coat Dough: Using a cookie scoop, drop scoops of chilled cookie dough into the powdered sugar to thoroughly coat each portion.
- Form Cookie Balls: Roll the sugar-coated dough into balls using your hands and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the bottoms have a golden-brown color.
- Cool Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- You can use any flavor of cake mix to customize the cookie flavor.
- Ensure the Cool Whip is fully thawed for easier mixing.
- Refrigerating the dough helps prevent excessive spreading during baking.
- Do not overbake to maintain the soft texture of the cookies.
- Use parchment paper or greasing your baking sheet to avoid sticking.
