Make soft, fluffy cookies with minimal effort using just three simple ingredients. These cookies are quick to prepare and perfect for last-minute baking or holiday treats.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the entire box of dry cake mix, the thawed Cool Whip, and the egg. Mix until just combined into a soft dough. Do not overmix.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly set. The centers will look soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For crinkle cookies, roll the dough balls in powdered sugar before baking.
You can substitute the white cake mix with yellow, chocolate, or strawberry cake mix for different flavors.
These cookies are naturally no butter cookies and no egg cookies Cool Whip recipes if you use a recipe variation that omits the egg, but this standard recipe includes one for structure.
