HOW TO MAKE CAKE MIX CRINKLE COOKIES

Making these cookies is surprisingly simple with several easy-to-follow steps.

Make sure to print or save the official recipe at the bottom of these post for the most accurate up-to-date information.

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper so that your cookies will cook evenly and not stick to the pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine your pineapple cake mix, cool whip, and egg. Mix the ingredients just until combined and a smooth dough forms.
3. Scoop the cookie dough using a cookie scoop or spoon into a small bowl filled with the powdered sugar. Gently roll each ball in the sugar and then place them onto the prepared sheet pan, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
4. Bake for 15-16 minutes until the edges of the cookies are firm and lightly golden. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
5. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Now the cookies are ready to enjoy!

TIPS AND COOKIE VARIATIONS

• Try different cake mix flavors to create your own unique cookie combinations - think strawberry or lemon for a refreshing twist.
• For a lighter alternative, use fat-free cool whip in place of the regular cool whip.
• When storing the cookies, include a slice of bread in an airtight container at room temperature to prevent them from drying out. They will remain fresh for up to four days.

• To make these cookies ahead of time, simply freeze the dough in balls on a parchment-lined sheet pan and store them in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag. When ready to bake, roll them in powdered sugar and follow the baking instructions.

ENJOY

• Serve these cookies with a side of fresh fruit salad, creating a complete tropical-themed dessert.
• You can also accompany the cookies with a scoop of fruity sorbet or vanilla ice cream for a delectable experience.

• For fun, themed occasions (like a luau party or summer gathering), garnish the cookies with small umbrellas or colorful straws.
