Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15.25 oz lemon cake mix
- 8 oz Cool Whip (thawed)
- 1 piece large egg
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, Cool Whip, and egg. Stir until the ingredients are fully incorporated. The dough will be sticky, which is normal.
Place the powdered sugar in a shallow dish or bowl for coating the cookies.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop small portions of the dough, and carefully roll them into approximately 1-inch balls. Coat each ball generously in powdered sugar.
Arrange the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are puffed up and lightly golden around the edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies rest for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delightful Cool Whip Lemon Cookies with a cup of tea or as a sweet snack!
