I wanted to make some cookies last night, and I remembered this recipe for Cool Whip cookies that only takes 4 ingredients. You can’t beat that!

It takes all of 5 minutes to put these together, since they come from a boxed cake mix. And thanks to that, you can make any flavor your little heart desires!

I chose strawberry. I’ve had these with lemon flavor, and they were delicious, too. So choose any flavor cake mix and customize to your family’s tastes.

Ingredients needed for Cake Mix Cool Whip Cookies:

whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
eggs
cake mix-boxes used to be 15 oz, but most are 13 oz now. Results are similar, so I still use just one box (any flavor you like)
powdered sugar

Steps:

Begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper and then lightly spray the paper with cooking spray. These cookies are very sticky (they are basically cake, after all) so you need both to be able to remove them from the pan easily.

With a hand mixer, beat together the Cool Whip and the eggs. Add the cake mix and continue to mix together. The dough will be VERY sticky.

Using a 1″ cookie scoop, drop the small scoops into a bowl of the powdered sugar. Roll them in the sugar to coat evenly and form into balls.

Place on prepared baking sheets and bake the Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies for 9-11 minutes. They do spread a bit, so I’ve found 9 cookies per pan to be perfect.

This recipe will make 3 batches of 9 cookies each, so 27 cookies total.
