These Lemon Crinkle Cookies are SUPER (and I mean Super!) easy to make. You only need 4 ingredients to make them happen, (crazy, right!) and they are wonderfully soft and chewy on the inside while being slightly crisp on the outside. I came across the recipe online while I was searching for a quick fix treat to make for my family that didn’t require me to head out to the store for any random ingredients. I ended up having everything I needed to make them and my kids loved, loved, loved them.
We hope you do too. 🙂
Look at those 4 ingredients. So simple, but so great! I’ve never, in my 41 years, heard of putting cool whip in cookie dough. I was a little bit skeptical, but heck. I’m willing to try just about anything. It turned out to be a great choice.
Let’s make some cookies!
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Into a medium-sized mixing bowl place 1 box lemon cake mix, 1 egg and 1 (8 ounce) container of thawed Cool Whip. (Please note that the picture above is of a 16 ounce container, which is the only thing I had on hand. I just used half of it for this recipe).
3. Stir the ingredients together with a wooden spoon, until combined. The mixture will be sticky.
4. Scoop the dough into spoonfuls…
and drop them into 1 C powdered sugar. Cover each dough ball with powdered sugar and place on a large cookie sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops have cracked and they are golden brown along the bottom.
6. Allow them to sit on the warm pan for 1-2 minutes, then remove them to a wire rack to cool completely.

I’ve been making these for years and they are wonderful! They are also great with strawberry or chocolate cake mix as well. I find them to be a bit “high-maintenence” because the batter is so sticky but I get a large bowl with low sides and then drop 4-5 balls in at a time, spoon the powdered sugar over them all and then set them on the tray. Speeds things up quite a bit. 😉
Michelle,
Thanks for the tips!
All the best,

Yum – easy and sounds so good. I bet these would be good with the key lime cake mix also…will try them both.
Jennifer,
Key Lime sounds fantastic! Let me know if you try it and how they work out.
Thanks!

These look SO good! I’ll try them soon – OR with the key lime; I have a box of lime cake mix in my pantry!
Janet,
Key Lime is one of my favorite flavors, I will have to give it a try. Great idea. 🙂
