Ingredients
  

  • 15.25 oz 15.25oz strawberry box cake mix - I use the Duncan Hines Strawberry Supreme variety
  • 8 oz tub Cool Whip - thawed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Equipment

  • Stand mixer with paddle attachment or a hand mixer
  • Silicone spatula
  • cookie scoop
  • Spray oil like Pam
  • Plastic Wrap
  • Mixing bowl
  • Parchment paper
  • Baking Sheet
  • cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Add the strawberry cake mix, egg, and entire tub of thawed out Cool Whip into your stand mixer bowl.
  2. Mix on low to medium speed until smooth and fully combined. The dough will be sticky and thick.
  3. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Chill for at least 1 hour or ideally overnight for the best texture.
  4. When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Add the powdered sugar to a small bowl.
  6. Lightly spray your cookie scoop with oil. Scoop one ball of dough at a time.
  7. Drop each dough ball directly into the powdered sugar. Roll it gently in your hands until completely coated.
  8. Place the coated dough balls on your baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each one.
  9. Bake small cookies for 9 to 11 minutes, or larger cookies for 10 to 14 minutes. Or adjust to your oven - they should look set around the edges but soft in the centre.
  10. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool fully on the cookie sheet before transferring. They are very tender when hot.
  11. Once cooled, place on a serving platter and enjoy!

Notes

 
  • Chill overnight for the prettiest crinkles.
  • Use different cake mix flavours to switch things up (lemon, chocolate, orange).
  • Spray the scoop each time for cleaner shaping.
 

Storage

  • Store in an airtight container for 3 days at room temperature.
  • Freeze baked cookies for up to 2 months.
  • For best texture, thaw at room temperature.
