I saw this recipe for these cookies in a magazine that called for a cake mix, an egg, and a carton of cool whip. The cool whip got the best of my curiosity and I had to try them out. They turned out so good that a friend and I made 4 different flavors and each batch made 4 dozen, so I was stuck with 16 dozen cookies! There could be worse things, I guess. :)
These cookies are really soft and chewy, a little messy because of the powdered sugar, but so worth it. These will definitely be going on my platters! The cake mixes we used were chocolate fudge, strawberry, orange and spice cake. I have a lemon to make and I want to try pineapple upside down.
We are coming along with out 12 weeks of Christmas, we are at week 9 and have seen some really awesome cookies!
Cake Cookies
1 box cake mix, any flavor
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
2 cups powdered sugar
Mix the cake mix, egg, and cool whip together until combined. This will be thick, but not so thick that you can roll it into balls. Put the powdered sugar into a shallow bowl.
Once you mix the dough, put the scoops of dough into the powdered sugar and roll it to coat. You can shape it once it is covered with the powdered sugar.
Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

It was hard to fit in a cookie this week and you made four kinds! They look delicious!
Oh how easy to make, I love the idea. Great variety!
Just think of how far ahead you are with that many cookies made! I practically have none in my freezer because some people keep eating them all.
What a wonderful cookie and easy to make. I love the idea that you can make all different flavors. This is a good one to put in the recipe file and use.

I love cake cookies, they are always a hit with everyone and are especially great because they are so easy :D
SO MANY COOKIES! Wow! They look delicious!
How do you get your cookies to stay plump? Mine flattened as they cooled.....I'm horrible at baking :)
Just want to know, What is cool whip, I haven't seen that in Australia.
Only thing I can think of is I didn't beat the egg before mixing it in... :/ ugh
