🍫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.
📋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.
This will produce a sticky dough.
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!

Shrinkflation has cake mix at 13oz boxes now. Suggestions for less Cool Whip? Skip the egg?
Vicky
Great question! With the cake mix boxes now at 13oz, you might want to adjust the amount of Cool Whip to about 6-7oz instead of the full tub to keep the consistency right. You can still use the egg, as it helps bind the ingredients together. If you find the dough too sticky, just chill it for a bit before baking. Happy baking!
