Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 box (15.25 oz) cake mix (any flavor)
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
- 1 large egg
Finishing
- Powdered sugar (optional, for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly mist a large cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the cake mix, whipped topping, and one large egg. Ensure the whipped topping is thawed before combining.
- Mix Dough: Stir all the ingredients together until the mixture is well combined and forms a soft dough.
- Form Cookies: Use a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon measure to scoop out dough balls. Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar if desired to coat evenly.
- Bake Cookies: Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are set but centers remain soft.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If you prefer a different flavor, choose any cake mix variety such as chocolate, red velvet, or vanilla.
- Ensure the whipped topping is fully thawed and soft for easier mixing and better texture.
- Rolling cookies in powdered sugar adds a sweet, slightly crunchy outer layer but can be omitted for less sweetness.
- These cookies will remain soft due to the whipped topping; do not overbake to avoid drying out.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
