Cool Whip Cookies

Ingredients

1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix (or your favorite flavor)
1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip (thawed)
1 large egg
Optional Mix-Ins:
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup sprinkles
1/2 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
2. Make the Cookie Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, Cool Whip, and egg.
Stir until the mixture forms a soft, sticky dough. If adding mix-ins like chocolate chips or sprinkles, fold them in gently at this stage.
3. Scoop the Dough
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers (optional).
4. Bake the Cookies
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked (they’ll firm up as they cool).
Avoid overbaking if you want soft, chewy cookies.
5. Cool and Serve
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy their soft, pillowy texture and sweet flavor!

Pro Tips for Success
Use Any Cake Mix Flavor: Experiment with fun flavors like chocolate, red velvet, or lemon for variety.
Don’t Overmix: Stir just until the dough comes together to avoid dense cookies.
Chill the Dough (Optional): For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 15–20 minutes before baking.
Freeze for Later: Freeze baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Reheat briefly in the microwave to refresh.
