    🍫Why You'll Love This Chocolate Cool Whip Cookies Recipe

    • Adding whipped topping to the cookie batter makes the cookies light and airy.
    • There are only four ingredients, making it ideal for beginner bakers.
    • Box cake mix makes this super easy!
    • These cookies stay soft even when stored for a few days.


    🥣Ingredient Notes

    • Chocolate Cake Mix - We used a 15.25 oz box. We used chocolate fudge cake mix, but devil's food cake mix would work as well.
    • Egg - We used a large egg in this recipe.
    • Powdered Sugar - When the cookie dough is rolled in powdered sugar it creates a pretty crinkle pattern when baked.
    • Cool Whip - Thawed. You can use any generic brand of whipped topping, even a light variety. This is not whipped cream in a can.
    ingredients for chocolate crinkle cookies.


    📋How to Make Cool Whip Cookies


    STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    STEP 2: Combine the chocolate cake mix, thawed Cool Whip, and an egg in a large mixing bowl. Mix until well all the ingredients have combined.

    STEP 3: To make the chocolate cake mix cookie dough easier to work with, place it in the freezer for 30 minutes.

    STEP 4: Remove the dough from the freezer. Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough into a plate of confectioner's sugar. Roll around until the cookie ball is covered in sugar.

    STEP 5: Place the cookie dough balls onto the cookie sheet, leaving a few inches in between them.

    STEP 6: Bake for 8-10 minutes. The cookies will still have a soft center, but they will continue cooking in the pan even after they are removed from the oven.

    STEP 7: Remove cookies from the oven. Leave them on the baking sheet for a few minutes then use a spatula to move the cookies to a wire rack to cool.

    These delicious cookies make an easy dessert or snack!
