INGREDIENTS You Need

This Easy Cool Whip Cookies recipe is all about simple ingredients and bold flavors. You can find everything you need at your regular grocery store. No fancy ingredients here!

Here’s what you’ll need to make these dreamy cookies:

1 box (15.25 oz) cake mix: Any flavor you love! Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry – the possibilities are endless.
1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed: This is the secret ingredient that makes these cookies unbelievably soft and chewy.
Optional: Sprinkles or chocolate chips: For that extra touch of fun and flavor!

That’s it! Can you believe it? This Easy Cool Whip Cookies magic is made with just a few ingredients.

No Cool Whip on hand? I sometimes use a stabilized whipped cream as a substitute, but honestly, the real deal gives the best texture! This Cool Whip dessert is already a winner, and that ingredient is a game changer.

Want to kick up the flavor? I sometimes add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a dash of almond extract to the batter. It adds a little something extra that makes people say, “Wow, what’s your secret?” 😉 This Easy Cool Whip Cookies ingredient list is all about bold flavors that actually work together!

For storage, these cookies are best kept in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay soft and delicious for up to 3 days (if they last that long!).

Here’s my Easy Cool Whip Cookies secret that takes it from good to incredible: don’t overbake them! Slightly underbaked cookies are the softest and chewiest. Now, let’s get baking!

Let’s Make Some!

Alright, fellow cookie enthusiasts, let’s get down to the delicious magic of making Easy Cool Whip Cookies! Trust me, this is so easy, even kitchen newbies can nail it.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is heating up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and Cool Whip. This is where the magic starts happening! Mix it all together until just combined. Don’t overmix! Overmixing can lead to tough cookies, and we want soft and chewy, right? At this point, you’ve got a Cool Whip dessert that will bring joy.
If desired, gently fold in sprinkles or chocolate chips. Now is the time to get creative! Feel free to add any other mix-ins you love. Nuts, dried fruit, even chopped-up candy bars would be delicious.
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet. I like to use a cookie scoop to ensure all the cookies are the same size. This helps them bake evenly.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. This is where the anticipation kicks in! Your Easy Cool Whip Cookies should smell absolutely incredible right now. Keep a close eye on them. You want them to be set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center. I find in my kitchen, this Easy Cool Whip Cookies usually takes around 9 minutes.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This is important! The cookies will continue to bake slightly as they cool. Don’t skip this step, or your Easy Cool Whip Cookies might be too soft to handle.
Enjoy! This is the best part! Grab a glass of milk or a cup of coffee and enjoy your freshly baked Easy Cool Whip Cookies.

Don’t worry if your Easy Cool Whip Cookies looks slightly cracked on top – that’s perfectly normal! This just adds to their charm. I made these 3 ingredient cookies so many times, it’s a breeze.

While your Easy Cool Whip Cookies is doing its thing in the oven, get ready for some amazing aromas! Seriously, the smell of these baking is pure heaven. Trust me, these whipped topping cookies are about to become your new favorite! 🔥

My Easy Cool Whip Cookies Flavor Secrets:

Don’t be afraid to experiment with cake mix flavors! Chocolate cake mix with chocolate chips is a classic, but vanilla cake mix with sprinkles is also a fun and festive option.
Underbake them slightly for the softest, chewiest cookies. A little bit of gooeyness is a good thing!
Add a pinch of salt to the batter to balance out the sweetness. This little trick really enhances the flavor of the cookies. These whipped topping cookies are the absolute best.

Here are a few variations I’ve tested and loved:

Chocolate Chip: Use chocolate cake mix and add chocolate chips. Perfect for chocolate lovers!
Sprinkle: Use vanilla cake mix and add sprinkles. A fun and festive cookie for any occasion!
Peanut Butter: Use yellow cake mix and add peanut butter chips. A delicious combination of flavors!

For a casual weeknight treat, I love the classic chocolate chip version. For parties, the sprinkle cookies are always a hit! And for a more indulgent treat, the peanut butter cookies are my go-to.
