What are Cool Whip Cookies?
These Cake Mix Cool Whip Cookies are a one bowl cookie recipe that uses actual cool whip (thawed), plus a box of cake mix and egg. This recipe give you a wonderful flavored cookie dough perfect for your baking needs. Most recipes featuring cool whip have the cookies rolled in powdered sugar for crinkle-like appearance. Our version of these enticing cookies is made with strawberry cake mix and cool whip, then topped with a lovely simple powdered sugar glaze.
Strawberry Cool Whip Cookie ingredients
For the cookies, you will need:
-Cake mix: You need one standard sized (15.25 ounce) box of strawberry flavored cake mix. Pick your favorite brand, any one will do.
-Cool whip: Use one thawed 8 ounce tub of Cool Whip. It doesn’t have to be the Cool Whip brand name, an off brand or even vegan whipped topping also works great.
-Egg: You need just 1 large egg to help bind together the cookie dough well.
For the glaze, you will need:
-Powdered sugar: You will need 1 cup of powdered sugar to make the glaze smooth and sweet.
-Butter: Use 1 tablespoon of melted butter to add richness to the glaze.
-Almond extract: For added flavor add in ½ teaspoon of almond extract. Vanilla extract will work too if you only have that in your pantry.
Step by step on how to make Strawberry Cool Whip Cookies
Prep
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F.
Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Making the Cookie Dough
In a large mixing bowl combine the cake mix with the cool whip and egg, stir until well mixed.
Next, use a cookie scoop to scoop out the dough and place it onto your prepared baking sheet.
Bake
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are lightly brown on top.
When done, remove cookies from the oven and allow to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then you can transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. If you do not have a wire rack, leaving them on the baking sheet is fine too.
Making the glaze
In a small bowl whisk together all the glaze ingredients, powder sugar, melted butter and your chosen extract, until the mixture is smooth.
Proceed to spoon about 1 teaspoon of glaze onto the top of each cookie.
Gently spread the glaze around to cover the cookies, allow to set for 10-15 minutes.
Serve fresh and enjoy!
How long are cool whip cookies good for?
You can keep these cookies stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. This should give you plenty of time to enjoy these tasty treats.
Can I freeze strawberry cool whip cookies?
These cookies could be placed into an airtight container and frozen for up to 3 months if desired. I recommend placing a layer of parchment paper between the cookies to prevent the glaze from sticking to other cookies in the container. Thaw before eating.
Can I use homemade whipped cream?
I have not tried this recipe using homemade whipped cream so I cannot say for certain but 3 cups of homemade whipped cream (about 1.5 cups of heavy cream) should be a good replacement for 8 ounces of whipped topping. Stabilized whipped cream should work better than just regular whipped cream because it’s more like Cool Whip and should hold up better.
Kids are hilarious! I mean, who else would decide on a whim to make a face out of a tortilla?! I love her!
