Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 box cake mix (15.25 oz, any flavor)
- 1 container whipped topping (such as Cool Whip) (8 oz container)
- 1 large egg
- Powdered sugar (optional, for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly mist a large cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the entire box of cake mix, the container of whipped topping, and one large egg. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and forms a dough.
- Form Dough Balls: Using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out dough balls and roll each ball in powdered sugar to coat them evenly, which adds a sweet crust and texture.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the powdered sugar-coated dough balls evenly spaced on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- You can customize the cake mix flavor to your preference—chocolate, vanilla, or even red velvet all work wonderfully.
- Rolling the dough balls in powdered sugar is optional but adds a lovely texture and sweetness.
- Do not over-bake to keep the cookies soft and moist inside.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- These cookies are easy to double or halve depending on serving needs.
