Ingredients

  • 1 box cake mix, any flavor (approx. 15 ounces, for a 9x13-inch cake)
  • 1 (8-ounce) container Cool Whip, thawed
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup (57g) Powdered sugar, for rolling

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Add cake mix, cool whip, and egg to a large bowl. Mix using a hand mixer (or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment) until smooth. Mixture will be very sticky.
  • Add powdered sugar to a small bowl. Scoop 1-tablespoon or 2-tablespoon cookie dough balls and roll into the sugar and then place 3-inches apart on cookie sheet.
  • These cookies will spread – the large ones will get larger, so I recommend using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop.
  • Bake for about 8-14 minutes, depending on size, until the tops are cracked and the cookies are no longer glossy on top (sides and bottoms of lighter cookies will be light golden brown).
  • Cool before removing from the cookie sheets. These will stick to the parchment or silicone so be sure to use a spatula to remove them.
  • Store in an airtight container for several days or freeze for several months.

Notes

  • This recipe will make approximately 20 2-tablespoon size cookies
  • Be sure they’re cooked all the way so they firm up – if they’re under done they taste delicious but will be more fragile.
  • You can use any flavor cake mix as long as it’s for a 9x13-inch pan size cake.
  • Add up to 1 ½ cups chopped nuts or chocolate chips (any flavor or kind) to the dough before baking, if desired.
