Description
These lemon Cool Whip cookies are soft, fluffy, and lightly citrusy with a crackled sugar coating. This recipe uses just 4 ingredients for a quick dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 box lemon cake mix 15.25 ounces
- 2 cups frozen whipped topping thawed
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine the lemon cake mix, thawed whipped topping, and egg in a large bowl.
- Mix until the dough is fully combined and smooth. It will be thick and sticky.
- Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl.
- Scoop the dough by teaspoon sized portions and drop them into the powdered sugar.
- Roll gently to coat completely. Place the dough balls 1½ inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the cookies are set but still soft and pale on top.
- Remove from the oven. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Lightly greasing your hands helps prevent the dough from sticking while rolling.
