Well, well, well. What do we have here? Another cookie recipe? Another pink recipe? Another Cool Whip recipe? Geez, am I ever predictable!!
I’m sort of obsessed with Cool Whip cookies. I love how easy they are. I love that they’re low fat and only have three ingredients. It really can’t get better than that. Oh wait, it can! You can use ANY cake mix with Cool Whip to make fun flavors! I’m on a pink kick because of upcoming Valentine’s Day, so I decided to add a strawberry cake mix in with my Cool Whip, two eggs and BAM. Awesomely festive cookies that my boys devoured. Nope. They didn’t care one bit that they were pink. But how could you? They’re so delicious and almost guilt-free! The perfect new year’s resolution compromise. Have you tried them yet?
Strawberry Cool Whip Cookies:
Printable Recipe HERE
Ingredients:
- 1 (18.25-oz) box strawberry cake mix
- 1 (8-oz) container Cool Whip (I used Lite)
- 2 eggs
- powdered sugar, for rolling
Directions:
- Beat together Cool Whip and eggs in a medium sized bowl. Add the cake mix and stir together. Dough will be thick and sticky. Chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray or use parchment paper.
- Pour about 1/3 cup of powdered sugar into a small bowl. Drop chilled dough by tablespoon (I used a cookie scoop) into powdered sugar and roll dough around until covered and place on cookie sheet. Bake for about 9-12 minutes. Bake time depends on size of cookies so keep checking to see if cooked! Cool on baking rack and then ENJOY!!

I’ve been seeing recipes for cool whip cookies. Do they make the cookies taste like cool whip or does it just give them a soft texture. Looks yummy and I like the use of the lite cool whip. Just pinned!

Andi @ The Weary Chef says
Jen, how have I never heard of Cool Whip cookies?? I can’t wait to try them. Thank you!
Carolyn says
I made these cookies because they looked and sounded delicious, but they were eggy and I couldn’t enjoy them. The egg aroma and taste was so strong, they filled my kitchen. Does anyone have any ideas to cut the egginess of these cookies? I’d like to taste the strawberry without tasting nothing but egg.
Jen says
I’m sorry they were eggy, Carolyn! I haven’t had that happen with these. I wonder if you tried just using the egg whites instead of the whole egg? Maybe it would take away that eggy flavor? In fact, I might try that this weekend and see how they turn out. Thanks for the comment!
Jamie Thompson says
I was just curious if this recipe would work with a Gluten Free cake mix? Thank you.
Jen says
Hi Jamie, I’ve never tried this recipe with a gluten free cake mix but I’m betting it would work just fine! Please let me know if you do try it and how you liked it. Thanks!
Angel Deaton says
Super easy to make and really lite and delicious
Raquel says
Made these today but with red velvet cake mix. They are amazing! Super soft, just the right amount of sweetness. Delicious cookies! Super easy to make and even easier to eat. Will be making them again for sure!
Jen says
Oh yay! Thank you for the comment! So glad you liked them!
Dianne says
Is the Cool Whip frozen or defrosted when it’s mixed with the eggs?
Jen says
It’s defrosted when mixed in! 🙂
Dixie Rivenbark says
Great recipes
Constance E Helton says
What is the shelf life of these cookies?
Jen says
Hi Constance! These cookies last for a few days when they’re refrigerated instead of sitting on a counter. I hope that helps!
