Cool Whip Cookie Recipe

Today, we’re thrilled to share with you a super fun and incredibly easy recipe that’s perfect for making with your little ones: Cool Whip Cookies!

These delightful treats are a breeze to whip up, requiring only four simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. But don’t let their simplicity fool you – these cookies are bursting with chocolate flavor and have a wonderfully soft and pillowy texture that’s sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike!

The Cool Whip adds a light and airy texture to the dough, while the cake mix infuses it with delicious flavor (we used chocolate, but you can use lemon, vanilla or strawberry – whatever you prefer). The powdered sugar coating adds a touch of sweetness and a delightful crunch that takes these cookies to the next level.

Making Cool Whip Cookies with your kids is not only a fun activity but also a fantastic learning experience.

Baking with kids is obviously a wonderful way to bond and create lasting memories together in the kitchen – but beyond that, it’s an opportunity for them to learn valuable kitchen skills, such as measuring ingredients and developing fine motor skills while mixing the dough.

Plus, it encourages creativity and fosters a love for cooking and baking from a young age. And the best part? Watching their faces light up with pride as they present their homemade cookies to family and friends is truly priceless.

So go ahead, gather your little sous chefs, and let the baking adventures begin!

How to Make Cool Whip Cookies

Preheat oven to 350F.

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat together the cake mix, Cool Whip and egg until well combined and no dry streaks of cake mix remain.

Place the powdered icing sugar in a small bowl.

Use a 1.5 Tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out some batter and then drop it into the sugar. Roll the dough around to coat completely, then transfer to the prepared baking sheets.

Repeat with all dough.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until cracks appear on the surfaces of the cookies and the cracks are no longer glossy.

Makes approximately 22 cookies.
