Directions for How to Make Cake Mix Brownies

Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Combine the ingredients: Add the cake mix, Cool Whip, and egg to a medium bowl. Stir just until no streaks remain.
Portion: Use a tablespoon-sized cooking scoop to portion the batter, and scoop it into a bowl of powdered sugar. Roll one cookie at a time, coating it with the sugar. Then, transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat: Continue the process, using all the dough, and rolling the cookies in sugar. Space them about 1 1/2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
Bake: Transfer the cookies to the oven. Bake for eight minutes or until they no longer look wet around the edges and are lightly golden brown.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the pan slightly. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, and enjoy!

How to Store + Freeze

Store the Cool Whip Cake Mix Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for three to four days.
You can also freeze the cookies in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag for up to two to three months.
Thaw in the fridge or at room temperature when you’re ready to eat.

Quick Tip

Freeze the cookie dough if you don’t want to bake all of the cookies at once. Skip rolling the cookie dough balls in powdered sugar and instead stick them right in the freezer. When you are ready to bake them, let the dough thaw and roll them in powdered sugar before placing them in the oven to bake.
