Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) sugar free cake mix (yellow, chocolate, lemon, or any flavor)
  • 1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed (regular or light)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar substitute (such as Swerve Confectioners or Lakanto Powdered Monkfruit), for rolling (optional)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup mini sugar free chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1 tsp lemon zest (if using lemon cake mix)
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar free cake mix, thawed Cool Whip, and egg. Stir until well combined. The dough will be thick and sticky.
  3. If using any optional add-ins (chocolate chips, lemon zest, or vanilla), fold them into the dough.
  4. Place the powdered sugar substitute in a small bowl. Scoop out dough by rounded tablespoons and drop each ball into the sugar substitute. Roll to coat, then place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake on the center rack for 9-12 minutes, until the cookies are puffed and the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  6. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Once cool, dust with extra powdered sugar substitute if desired. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Notes

For best results, chill the dough for 10-15 minutes if it’s too sticky to handle. Use a cookie scoop for even cookies. Swap cake mix flavors for variety (lemon, chocolate, spice, etc.). For gluten free, use a gluten free sugar free cake mix. Let cookies cool before moving—they are delicate when warm. Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep cookies soft.
