Tips & Tricks

1. Use Different Cake Mix Flavors: Experiment with different flavors of cake mix to create a variety of cookie options. From classic vanilla and chocolate to funfetti or red velvet, the possibilities are endless!
2. Adjust Consistency as Needed: Depending on the brand of cake mix and Cool Whip you use, you may need to adjust the consistency of the dough. If it’s too sticky, add a bit more powdered sugar. If it’s too dry, add a splash of milk.
3. Chill the Dough: If the dough is too soft to handle, refrigerate it for 30 minutes to firm up. This will make it easier to roll into balls and prevent them from spreading too much during baking.
4. Use a Cookie Scoop: For evenly sized cookies, use a cookie scoop to portion out the dough. This ensures that all your cookies bake at the same rate and look uniform.
5. Don’t Overbake: Cool Whip Cookies are best when they’re soft and slightly gooey in the center. Be sure not to overbake them, as they can quickly become dry and lose their pillowy texture.
6. Add Mix-Ins: Fold in your favorite mix-ins like chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or sprinkles to add extra flavor and texture to your cookies.
7. Store Properly: Store Cool Whip Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. If you prefer a firmer texture, you can also store them in the refrigerator.
8. Freeze for Later: Cool Whip Cookies freeze well! Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until firm, then transfer them to a freezer bag or container. They’ll keep for up to 2-3 months. Just let them thaw at room temperature before serving.
9. Serve with a Twist: Get creative with how you serve your Cool Whip Cookies! Sandwich them with a scoop of ice cream for an extra indulgent treat, or drizzle them with melted chocolate for a decorative touch.
10. Enjoy the Process: Have fun experimenting with different flavors and variations of Cool Whip Cookies. Whether you’re baking them for a special occasion or simply craving a sweet treat, take pleasure in the simple joy of homemade cookies.
