Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the lemon cake mix, Cool Whip, and egg by hand until well combined. Chill the dough for a short period.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough into powdered sugar and roll into marble-sized balls.
- Place the coated dough balls on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure the Cool Whip is fully thawed before mixing to achieve a smooth dough. You can substitute the lemon cake mix with a vanilla or yellow cake mix for a different flavor profile. If you prefer a more intense lemon flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest or a splash of lemon extract to the mixture. These cookies pair beautifully with the Peanut Crumb Coffee Cake.
