Cool Whip Cookies
Cool Whip cookies are light, fluffy sugar cookies that melt in your mouth. The secret ingredient is whipped topping, which makes these cookies extra airy and creamy. They’re perfect for any occasion and sure to be a hit with family and friends.
To make Cool Whip cookies, you’ll need the following ingredients:
•1 cup butter, softened
•3⁄4 cup sugar
•3⁄4 cup packed brown sugar
•2 eggs
•1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•2 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
•1 teaspoon baking soda
•1⁄2 teaspoon salt
•1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars until creamy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into the creamed mixture. Fold in whipped topping.
Drop by spoonfuls onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until edges are light brown. Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks.
The key to perfect Cool Whip cookies is not to overbake them. Take the cookies out of the oven when they’re still a bit soft and underdone looking. They will continue to firm up as they cool. Overbaking will result in dry, crunchy cookies instead of the signature soft and chewy texture.
Cool Whip cookies are best served the day they are made, as the whipped topping can cause them to become soggy over time. Keep any leftover cookies in an airtight container. Enjoy!
