Cool Whip Cookies are the perfect treat for anyone looking for a quick, easy, and delightful dessert. These cookies are unique not only because of their fluffy texture but also because they utilize Cool Whip, a popular whipped topping, which gives them an airy and light quality.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup Cool Whip
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Cool Whip, granulated sugar, and egg. Blend until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir gently until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The center will appear slightly soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
