Lemon Cake Mix Cool Whip Cookies Recipe (2024)

You won’t believe how easy it is to make these cookies, but be sure to read the directions so you don’t have any problems.

This cookie dough is very sticky, so it does require some time in the refrigerator as well as using a spoon rather than your hands to handle the dough.

   I made these.. And they are wonderful! Everyone loved them!

   The dough was very sticky! I took a plastic cup and put the powdered sugar in it.. Spooned the dough into the cup & then rotated the cup around so the dough would form inside the cup while getting coated with powdered sugar.

   They were yummy!

12. Carol Cotton A/K/A BlondeCaveFish says:

    hmmmm...my version only uses one egg and I freeze the dough. Also, if you coat your hands with powdered sugar it makes it easier.

16. Mom25Nations says:

    I made with cream cheese, but I'll have to try these.

17. time125 says:

    I made them with carrot cake and they are great. Also if you use a cookie dough scoop then roll with a spoon it takes a lot of the mess out of the picture.

18. bestmassey says:

    Okay so I'm aging myself here but I had to let you know that my grandmother used to make these back in the 70's YIKES~~~~ anyway she called them "lemon whippersnappers" and I have been making them FoReVeR!!! You can use ANY cake mix (I did the pink cherry cake mix one time and the girlie girls loved them)By the way, your treats make me fat just looking at them!!!I will be making some of your yummies for a bake sale this weekend!!

19. Suzy @ Joy Is At Home says:

    yum!!! I love these! The recipe I use only has 1 egg.. I wonder if 2 makes the dough less sticky?

20. needleup says:

    All your recipes are fast and easy. Love them

21. Amanda says:

    I just wanted to say that I love your blog!

22. Margaret says:

    Love your recipes. I make these but don't use the eggs. They come out flat like the old "lemon coolers" that use to be sold in a box. They are a huge hit & I get requests to make them all the time.

23. tracerscouponaffair says:

    Your site is too addicting lol. I love these! I just got a bunch of cool whip cheap with coupons so this is a great recipe to use all the cool whip up. Thank you!

24. Fraki T says:

    I used a small ice cream scoop to drop into the powdered sugar and a fork to pick them back up. Also, used fat free cool whip and added lemon extract. They are yummy.

25. Heather says:

    These are so good, but I had a terrible time scraping them off the cookie sheet! I tried a greased cookie sheet, parchment paper, a silpat-type mat, an ungreased airbake cookie sheet, scraping them off immediately, waiting a few minutes after they came out of the oven...and I still feel like I had to chisel them off! What am I doing wrong?

26. Six Sisters says:

    Just reading over the comments many have said they only use one egg and then freeze the dough. Don't know if that would help. One even said her recipe is similar but no eggs. It was a hard dough to work with, but we aren't sure why you are having such a problem with them sticking to the pan so badly. Sounds like you have tried everything. So sorry!

27. Kathy Griffin says:

    I just made these! Wow! My cake mix was 3oz less so added 1oz flour and put 2 lemon jelly beans in the center - to die for!

28. sheron says:

    Instead of Cool Whip would a milk based Topping mix or even Whipped cream work? Does it have to be the chemically based, hydrogenated oil Cool Whip topping? THANKS

29. Cyd says:

    We have only made this recipe with cool whip, so not sure if real whipped topping would work.

30. Jodee says:

    About how many cookies does the recipe make? I have a cookie exchange and need to plan ahead. Thanks the cookie sounds yummy.

31. Cyd says:

    Makes about 3 dozen cookies. Just click on the MAGIC button under the picture and then click on NUTRITION. It will give you the nutritional info on the recipe.

32. Lisa Doherty says:

    Just finished baking these crinkles -- came out fantastic and I think I will win the office cookie bake-off!! Super easy recipe, thank you!! Husband ate 3 already.....!

33. Joyce says:

    Would these quality in the "freezes well" category? I'm making several types of cookies for a big event in three weeks.

34. Cyd says:

    They should freeze well in an airtight container.

35. Kristina Seppala says:

    How should I make them fluffier? I've made them with one egg but wondered if the two eggs and leaving them in the fridge(which I didn't do) would help to not make them go flat. Thanks!

36. Cyd says:

    For sure refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes. They will flatten a little after baking.

37. Anni says:

    This recipe use to be on the cake mix box, its not the authors recipe. I've made it numerous times.
