Cool Whip Cookies

These cookies were OK. Not sure I will make them again. I used the lemon cake mix, and I love everything lemon. But these just aren't that great in my opinion . I like another reviewer, had problems getting them to bake completely. After several extra minutes in the oven, the middle still tasted raw. However, they did taste a little better the next day. IF I try these again, I will use a chocolate cake mix instead.

So far, everyone says they’re pretty good

We really like them. I did the lemon but I’ll make red velvet for Christmas and experiment with maybe adding pistachio pudding with a white or French vanilla cake mix to make some green ones too. They are a little messy, but not horrible. I probably won’t make them with the grandkids for that reason.

I made lemon cookies, stuck to the recipe (no pun intended). Dropped my batter directly into the powered sugar with no problems. Baked some on parchment, some on an oiled cookie sheet and some on plain cookie sheet. All came off fine if let sit on the sheet to cool for a little bit. Cookies are light, flavorful and easy.

I'm giving this a 3 because making these per the recipe results in an okay cake cookie. I'd give it a 5 with my adaptations. Per previous reviews, I chilled the dough before scooping. I used a cookie scoop to get them into the conf. sugar and on the pan, which worked fine, but the result was HUGE cookies. I used white cake mix and dyed a batch red and a batch green for Christmas per another reviewer, and looking at them, they looked exactly like whoopie pies, so I pulled an audible. :-) I made a lightly-anised whipped frosting and stuffed two of the giant cookies with that, then rolled them in holiday-colored sprinkles. The result--AMAZING! My friends and fam' loved them. If I were to make these again, it would definitely be for whoopie pie purposes. I'd likely use some extract to a give the cake more flavor. The cool whip does make the cookies creamy, and they are the kind that taste better after sitting for a day. To sum it up, these are PERFECT for whoopie pies, but I wouldn't make them again as stand alone cookies. So have fun whoopie'ing, if you feel so inclined!! :-D
