🍪 Cool Whip cookies
Cool Whip cookies are soft, fluffy, cake-like cookies made using whipped topping (like Cool Whip), cake mix, and eggs. They’re one of the easiest cookie recipes because they use very few ingredients and no complicated mixing techniques.
🧾 Ingredients
- 1 box cake mix (any flavor: chocolate, lemon, strawberry, vanilla)
- 1 tub whipped topping (Cool Whip or similar)
- 1 egg
- Powdered sugar (for coating)
👩🍳 How to make them
1. Mix dough
- Combine cake mix, whipped topping, and egg in a bowl
- Stir until a thick, sticky dough forms
2. Chill dough
- Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes
- This makes it easier to handle and improves texture
3. Shape cookies
- Scoop small portions and roll into balls
- Coat each ball in powdered sugar
4. Bake
- Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 10–12 minutes
- Cookies will puff and crack slightly on top
5. Cool
- Let cool on tray for a few minutes
- Move to rack to finish cooling
🍽️ What they taste like
- Soft and fluffy like mini cakes
- Light sweetness with powdered sugar crust
- Flavor depends on the cake mix used
🔄 Popular variations
- 🍫 Chocolate Cool Whip cookies
- 🍓 Strawberry or red velvet versions
- 🍋 Lemon cookies with glaze
- 🎉 Funfetti with sprinkles
💡 Tips
- Don’t overbake (they stay soft when slightly underdone)
- Chill dough or it will be too sticky
- Use parchment paper for easy cleanup
- Add chocolate chips or nuts for texture
🧾 Bottom line
Cool Whip cookies are a super easy 3–4 ingredient dessert cookie that tastes like soft, chewy cake bites rather than traditional crunchy cookies.
If you want, I can also give you a healthier version with less sugar or a from-scratch homemade whipped cream cookie recipe without cake mix.
