Instructions

Step 1

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Step 2

STEP TWO: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or standing mixer to combine strawberry cake mix, cool whip, and egg until mixed.

Step 3

STEP THREE: Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to form even balls of dough. Drop the balls into powdered sugar. Roll in the powdered sugar (and once they’re coated in powdered sugar, they are easier to roll in your hands to form a better ball if you wish).

Step 4

PRO TIP: Don’t roll the cookies too heavily in the powdered sugar. It will clump and look less pretty when it crackles. Just a nice even coating will turn out great. These cookies don’t absorb the powdered sugar coating like some other crackle cookies do.

Step 5

STEP FOUR: Place the balls 1½ inches apart on a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 6

PRO TIP: Use a silicone baking mat on the cookie sheet for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking or burning.

Step 7

STEP FIVE: Bake for 8 to 9 minutes or until the cookies are evenly spread and just beginning to brown on the bottom edges.

Step 8

PRO TIP: The decorative “crinkle” happens when you roll the balls in the powdered sugar before baking. As the cookies expand in the oven, the sugar pulls apart to create a unique pattern.

Step 9

STEP SIX: Allow cookies to cool for 2 to 3 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
