STRAWBERRY COOL WHIP COOKIES

Strawberry Cool Whip Cookies made with a strawberry cake mix, Cool Whip and an egg. A lighter cookie recipe that is easy to make and with less calories than traditional cake mix cookies!

Strawberry Cool Whip Cookies are one of my favorite, fast and easy cookie recipes. Only a few ingredients and a few minutes needed to make soft, delicious cookies!

What are cool whip cookies?

Traditional cake mix cookies are made with a cake mix, butter and eggs. When making Cool Whip cookies, you swap out the butter with Cool Whip to save on calories. The result is a softer cookie with a slightly different consistency, but all of the flavor and sweetness! The Cool Whip makes the cookie dough a bit more sticky than normal, so I like to roll the cookie dough balls in powdered sugar, but you can skip that step if you prefer.

One of the best parts about cake mix cookies is how versatile they are! You can use any cake mix you want! This recipe is wonderful with lemon cake mix, but I also like chocolate. You can add chocolate chips or M&Ms…add any type of mix-in you’d like!

Ingredients in Cool Whip Cookies

Strawberry cake mix – You will need one box of Strawberry Cake Mix. Most cake mixes are about 15-18 ounces, but they all will work. You can use a different flavor if you prefer – we love swapping in lemon!

Cool Whip – You will need 2 cups of thawed Cool Whip whipped topping. This ends up being about 2/3 of an 8 oz container. If you don’t have Cool Whip, you can use a stick of melted butter, but the consistency will definitely be different and you’ll be adding a few more calories too!

Egg – Just one large egg will help to bind everything together.

Powdered sugar – This ingredient is completely optional, but I love the way it makes the cookies look. Roll each ball of cookie dough in a little bit of powdered sugar before baking.

How to make Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies

Preheat oven to 350°.

Use an electric mixer to beat Cool Whip and egg together in a mixing bowl. Add cake mix and beat until well blended.

Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl. Use a cookie scoop to scoop out the cookie dough into balls and roll them in the powdered sugar.

Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.

Can you replace the Cool Whip in the cookies?

If you don’t have access to Cool Whip or just don’t have any on hand, you can swap out the Cool Whip with 1 stick of melted butter. You will definitely be adding a few calories, but the cookies will be delicious!

WHAT BRAND OF CAKE MIX SHOULD I USE?

You can use any brand of cake mix, whether that is a store brand, Duncan Hines, Betty Crocker or another store brand. All of them should work the same but I recommend picking one that you have tried before so you know you like it.

TIPS FOR MAKING PERFECT CAKE MIX COOKIES

Preheat the oven. This will help your cookies turn out right every time!
Use a cookie scoop! If you want all your cookies to be perfectly shaped and have them all be the same size, a cookie scoop is the way to go.
Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Doing this will make it really easy to remove the cookies from your cookie sheet so that you don’t have to scrape them off the pan – they will just slide right off in perfect shape!
Don’t over bake the cookies – when I take mine out of the oven, they still look slightly under baked but they will continue to bake on the cookie sheet for a couple more minutes so that’s ok!

HOW LONG ARE CAKE MIX COOKIES GOOD FOR?

You can keep these cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 or 4 days. A trick my mother in law taught me is to put a piece of bread in the cookie container, the cookies absorb the moisture from the bread and stay soft for a couple days longer.

CAN I FREEZE CAKE MIX COOKIES?

Yes, these cookies freeze wonderfully. Simply place the cookies into an airtight container and freeze for up to three months. Let the cookies thaw on the counter before eating so that they are softer enough to bite into. This only takes a few minutes for a single cookie or two.

How to store chocolate chip cake mix cookies?

These cookies will last up to 2 weeks when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. You could keep them stored in the fridge if you are afraid that the chocolate will melt due to hot weather but it is not recommended or needed because the fridge could cause the cookies to dry out and not taste as great.

Can I alter this cookie recipe by using a different cake flavor?

You bet you can! That is what I love about this recipe, it is so easy to change it up and create new fun cookie flavors. A yellow cake mix would be great for a baby shower or Easter celebration. Using a chocolate cake mix for the chocolate lovers in your life would always be a welcomed treat. This recipe is great to test out different cake flavors and candy combinations to decide what you love best. Let your creativity run wild!

Can you Freeze Cookies?

I love freezing cookies! There are 2 ways I prefer to freeze them. The first is by freezing the unbaked cookie dough balls. I scoop & shape the balls round with my hands, then freeze them in 1 layer on a cookie sheet. You can position them as close together as possible without touching. Freeze, then once solid, transfer them to a ziplock freezer bag. Then you can pull them out and bake them whenever you want! You’ll want to either let them thaw on a cookie sheet while preheating the oven, or add a couple minutes to the bake time to compensate for frozen cookie dough.

The second way is to just freeze the baked cookies. My mother in law does this ALL the time. They turn out pretty well, albeit a tiny bit drier and more crumbly once thawed. Oh and you’ve got to make sure you thaw them. Frozen cookies are pretty hard to eat. Thankfully, they only take about 20 minutes or so to thaw out.
