You can make these soft, fluffy cookies using just three pantry staples: cake mix, frozen whipped topping, and an egg. They are quick to prepare and yield a melt-in-your-mouth texture perfect for last-minute treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 ounces) cake mix (any flavor)
  • 1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 large egg
  • Powdered sugar, for rolling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the dry cake mix and the thawed whipped topping. Mix them together until just combined.
  3. Add the egg to the mixture and stir until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  4. If you want crinkle cookies, place powdered sugar in a shallow dish.
  5. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. If using powdered sugar, roll each ball completely in the sugar until coated.
  6. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 9 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set. The centers will look soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can use any flavor of cake mix for variety, such as chocolate, vanilla, or lemon.
  • For a chewier cookie, slightly underbake them. For a fluffier cookie, bake closer to 12 minutes.
  • If you skip rolling them in powdered sugar, these are excellent for decorating with sprinkles before baking.
