Why You’re Going To Love This Recipe

• Only 4 ingredients! For this recipe, you really just mix up 3 ingredients and then they get rolled in powdered sugar.
• They are soft and chewy lemon crinkle cookies! You get the pretty crinkles from rolling the cookies in powdered sugar before baking.
• Did I mention they start with cake mix? Cake mix cookies are so easy to make and always turn out delicious.

Ingredients for Cool Whip Cookies

• Lemon cake mix – just a regular boxed cake mix! This also works well with strawberry, vanilla, red velvet, and chocolate cake mixes!
• Cool Whip – you can use regular or lite Cool Whip for this recipe.
• Egg – this is going to hold everything together.
• Powdered sugar – the cookies get rolled in this before baking. It adds to the texture of the cookies and gives them that fun crackly look.

How To Make Cool Whip Cookies

• Prepare. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line three cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• Make cookie dough. Mix the cake mix, cool whip, and the egg until well combined.
• Shape cookies. Scoop the dough into 1 ½ tablespoon balls.

• Roll in powdered sugar. Place ½ cup of powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll half of the dough balls in the powdered sugar. Repeat with remaining powdered sugar and dough balls.
• Transfer to baking sheets. Place the sugar-covered dough balls on the parchment-lined cookie sheets leaving at least 1 ½” between each cookie.
• Bake. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges start to turn lightly golden.
• Cool completely. Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Tips and Tricks

• Don’t try using regular whipped cream in these cool whip cookies. The cool whip isn’t dairy based and has certain stabilizers in it that helps to create these cookies.
• You can try different flavors by switching up the cake mix flavors. I recommend strawberry or red velvet!

How Long Are They Good For?

Cool whip cake mix cookies are good for up to 4 days. Make sure to store them in an airtight container at room temperature.

Can You Freeze Them?

You can freeze these lemon cool whip cookies for up to 3 months. I recommend wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap and then placing them in a freezer ziploc bag.

Let them defrost at room temperature for several hours before serving.
