Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 box Strawberry cake mix for a 9×13-inch cake (approximately 15.25 ounces)
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ cups whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, egg, and whipped topping. Stir together until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Chill Dough: Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to firm up, which will make it easier to handle and shape.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) to prepare for baking.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it generously with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Form Dough Balls: Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form the dough into 1 to 1 ½ inch balls.
- Coat in Powdered Sugar: Roll each dough ball in the powdered sugar until fully coated. This will add a sweet crust and prevent sticking.
- Bake: Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. The cookies may look slightly soft in the center but be careful not to overbake.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the whipped topping is fully thawed before mixing.
- Do not overbake the cookies; they should be soft in the middle to retain a chewy texture.
- You can substitute with diet or sugar-free cake mix if desired, but it may alter texture slightly.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Try different flavors of cake mix to create a variety of cookies.
