Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) dry cake mix (any flavor)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the dry cake mix, eggs, and thawed whipped topping. Mix with a spoon or electric mixer until just combined into a soft dough. Do not overmix.
- If desired, place powdered sugar in a shallow dish.
- Scoop the dough using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop. Roll each scoop into a ball.
- If using powdered sugar, roll the dough balls completely in the sugar until coated.
- Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 9 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can use any flavor of cake mix, such as chocolate, yellow, or spice, to change the cookie flavor.
- For a crinkle effect, rolling the dough in powdered sugar before baking is necessary.
- These cookies are best eaten within 3 days for maximum softness.
