Ingredients

Confectioners’ sugar

HOW TO MAKE COOL WHIP COOKIES
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F.
Step 2: Place the cake mix powder, the Cool Whip, and the egg in a mixing bowl. Mix well until combined. Then, shape the mixture into balls.
Step 3: Roll each ball in the confectioners’ sugar.
Step 4: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven when done and allow the cookies to cool for about 5 minutes in the pan before inverting them onto a cooling rack.
Notes:
1. For this recipe, use only powdered cake mix.
2. This recipe calls for an 18.25 ounces box of cake mix. For the exact portion, add more cake mix from another box or add all-purpose flour to the mix. This measurement will give you the exact cake mix portion; 15.25 ounces box of cake mix plus 11 tablespoons of cake mix or all-purpose flour and ¼ teaspoon of baking soda. Or 16.5 ounces box of cake mix plus 6 tablespoons of cake mix or all-purpose flour.
3. Use parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking when baking.
Cake Mix Variations:
1. For the chocolate, you can use crushed peppermint candies or candy canes, mint chocolate chips, or roll in finely crushed nuts or coconut.
2. As for the funfetti, add almond extract, then roll in finely crushed almonds. Or add coconut extract, then roll in coconut.
3. To the lemon cake mix, add lemon zest or a few teaspoons of lemon juice before rolling in the confectioners’ sugar.
4. If using an orange cake mix, you can also add a bit of orange zest.
5. Allspice, cardamom, and cinnamon are a great addition, too.
6. Butter pecan is amazing to use, too! Then, roll in finely crushed pecans.
7. For red velvet, I recommend making a cream cheese glaze to drizzle on top of the cooled cookies.
Cool Whip Variations:
1. Peppermint Cool Whip pairs well with chocolate or vanilla cake mix.
2. French Vanilla is amazing with Funfetti cake mix.
3. For deeper chocolate flavor, chocolate is awesome with chocolate or red velvet cake mix.
4. Strawberry is perfect with strawberry, white, or Funfetti cake mix.
