Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box lemon cake mix
- 1 container thawed whipped topping
- 2 large eggs
Supporting Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Grab a large mixing bowl and vigorously whisk together 1 container thawed Cool Whip, 2 large eggs, and 1 box lemon cake mix until a smooth, consistent dough forms.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop out equal portions of dough, then gently roll each portion in ⅓ cup powdered sugar, ensuring complete coverage.
- Arrange the sugar-coated dough balls 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet, giving them room to spread during baking.
- Place the baking sheet in a preheated 350°F oven and bake for exactly 8 minutes, watching for set edges and a soft center.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them rest on the baking sheet for 3 minutes to firm up slightly.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely for 15 minutes before serving or storing.
- Store your fresh cookies in an airtight container at room temperature, where they’ll stay delicious for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Softened Cool Whip helps the dough mix more smoothly and creates a lighter texture in the cookies.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before rolling makes it easier to handle and prevents spreading during baking.
- Use a light hand when rolling in powdered sugar to get a delicate, even coating that doesn’t clump.
- For gluten-free versions, swap the cake mix with a gluten-free cake mix blend to accommodate dietary needs.
