Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15-18 oz) white cake mix – Any brand works!
  • 1 large egg – Binds the dough together.
  • 1 (8 oz) container Cool Whip, thawed – Adds fluffiness and moisture.
  • Red & green food coloring – Gel works best for bold colors.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar – For that classic crinkle effect.

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat & Prep

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper (or silicone mats).

2️⃣ Make the Dough

  • In a large bowl, mix cake mix, egg, and Cool Whip until smooth.
  • The dough will be sticky and stretchy (like taffy).

3️⃣ Color the Dough

  • Divide dough into two bowls.
  • Add red food coloring to one bowl, green to the other.
  • Mix well until colors are vibrant (gel coloring works best).

4️⃣ Shape the Cookies

  • Pour powdered sugar into a shallow bowl.
  • Scoop 1-inch dough balls (a small cookie scoop helps).
  • Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated (this creates the crinkles!).

5️⃣ Bake & Cool

  • Place dough balls 2 inches apart on baking sheets.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes until cookies spread, crack, and are set but still soft inside.
  • Let cool 2 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a wire rack

Notes

🎄 Use gel food coloring – More vibrant than liquid!
🎄 Don’t overbake – They should stay soft in the center.
🎄 Coat well in powdered sugar – This ensures deep cracks.
🎄 Store airtight – Keeps them fresh for days!
