Strawberry Cool Whip Cookies Recipe
Make some delicious strawberry cookies this summer! It’s so simple and easy to do!
- Can these be made with different flavors of cake mix?
Yes, you can change the flavor of the cake mix to another type of cake mix if you’d like.
- Can I bake these without the parchment paper?
Yes, baking them on a sheet pan with parchment paper helps the bottoms cook evenly.
- Can this be made with a fat-free cool whip?
Yes, you can use a fat-free cool whip.
- Can these be made with homemade whipped cream instead of the cool whip?
They will not come out right if you sub out the cool whip.
- How do you store the cookies?
You want to store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. To help prevent the cookies from drying out, I recommend storing them with a slice of bread.
- How long will these cookies be good for?
They will be good for up to four days at room temperature.
- Can I freeze the cookies?
Yes, these cookies freeze well. You want to store them for up to two months in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag. If you store them longer, they will still taste good, but some of that powdered sugar might melt as the cookies thaw.
- Can I freeze the cookie dough?
If you’d like to freeze the cookie dough, I recommend scooping them onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and then placing the pan into the freezer. Once the dough is frozen, transfer the balls to a freezer-safe Ziploc bag. When you’re ready to bake them off, roll them in the powdered sugar.
- How do I prevent the dough from sticking to my fingers?
You don’t want to touch the dough with your fingers until it’s completely covered in powdered sugar. I like to work with my dough using a cookie scoop to help eliminate any need to touch the dough. If you don’t have one, I recommend using two spoons to scoop the dough, one to pick it up and one to scrape it off. I like to pick up the powdered sugar around the dough in the bowl, sprinkle it over the top, and then toss the ball around in the sugar.
- The dough seems too soft. Is that normal?
Yes, this is a soft fluffy dough. If the dough is too soft, let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Can these be made without the powdered sugar?
You can make these without the powdered sugar. It would help if you scooped them directly onto the parchment-lined sheet pan.
- Can these be made without the egg?
Yes, you can leave out the egg. The texture will differ slightly, but they will still be great cookies.
