Notes

*Use any flavor of cake mix you prefer. Just make sure to use a 15.25-ounce box.
**For a homemade alternative, use my stabilized whipped cream recipe. You'll need about 2 cups.
Becky's Top Tips:
  • Thaw Cool Whip in the fridge overnight for best results.
  • Grease your cookie scoop (or hands!) well to keep the dough from sticking. It's quite wet.
  • Allow the cookies to fully cool on the baking sheet before moving or handling. They are more prone to falling apart when warm.
Storage: Store Cool Whip cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
