Lemon Cake Mix Cookies (Print-Friendly Version)

Lemon-flavored cookies with Cool Whip and cake mix. Ready fast, light, soft, and sweet.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

01 - 1 box (approximately 480 g) lemon cake mix

02 - 8 ounces (225 g) frozen whipped topping, thawed

03 - 1 large egg, beaten

04 - 60 g powdered sugar

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C and line a baking sheet with a non-stick mat or lightly grease with oil.

02 - In a large mixing bowl, add the lemon cake mix, beaten egg, and thawed whipped topping. Stir until the mixture forms a uniform dough.

03 - Using a teaspoon, drop portions of dough into the powdered sugar. Coat each portion evenly, then roll between your palms to form balls.

04 - Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow room for spreading.

05 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.

06 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

01 - Defrost whipped topping in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours for best results; rapid defrosting can alter texture.

02 - Working the dough in the powdered sugar makes it less sticky and easier to handle.

03 - Do not overbake to maintain a soft texture.

04 - Lemon cake mix can be substituted with other cake mix flavors if desired.
