Ingredients

1 box lemon cake mix (15.25 ounces or a traditional 9x13 box cake mix)
2 cups frozen whipped topping (thawed)
1 large egg

To roll the cookies:

1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, stir the cake mix, Cool Whip, and egg with a sturdy spatula until no dry streaks remain. The dough will be very sticky. 1 box lemon cake mix, 2 cups frozen whipped topping, 1 large egg
Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl. Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop (sprayed with cooking spray) to drop dough into the sugar. Spoon sugar over the top, then roll to coat. Place 2 inches apart on the prepared sheet. 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until the tops are crackled, the edges are set, and the centers are puffed and no longer shiny. Pull them out before they get brown.
Cool on the pan for 3 minutes, then move to a cooling rack. Makes about 20 cookies (2 1/2" in diameter).

Notes

1 batch makes about 20 cookies.
Because the cake mix has so much flavor, there's no need for extra vanilla extract.
