Ingredients

To whip up these tasty Strawberry Crinkle Cookies, you’ll need:

For a Single Batch (1x):

• 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix (any brand)
• 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
• 1 large egg
• ½ cup powdered sugar for rolling cookies

For a Double Batch (2x):

• 2 boxes (15.25 oz each) strawberry cake mix
• 2 tubs (8 oz each) whipped topping, thawed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup powdered sugar for rolling cookies

For a Triple Batch (3x):

• 3 boxes (15.25 oz each) strawberry cake mix
• 3 tubs (8 oz each) whipped topping, thawed
• 3 large eggs
• 1½ cups powdered sugar for rolling cookies

Instructions

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350℉ (175℃). This ensures your cookies bake evenly.

2. Prepare Baking Sheets: Grease your baking sheets lightly and set them aside. This prevents the cookies from sticking and ensures easy removal.

3. Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, slightly beat the egg. Add the strawberry cake mix and the thawed whipped topping. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a smooth dough.

4. Form the Cookies: Scoop small portions of the dough, roughly 1-inch in diameter, and roll them into balls. Coat each ball generously with powdered sugar. This step gives these crinkle cookies their signature appearance as they bake and crackle.

5. Arrange on Baking Sheets: Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto your prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are about 1 inch apart. For a festive touch, add a sprinkle of your choice.

6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges are firm, but ensure they don’t brown. This keeps them soft and chewy.

7. Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delightful cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.

Notes

• Thawed Whipped Topping: Ensure your whipped topping is properly thawed in the refrigerator before using. This helps it mix smoothly with the other ingredients.

• Baking Cues: The cookies are done when their edges are firm but not brown. Overbaking can make them hard, so keep a close eye on them.

• Substitution Option: If you’re out of whipped topping, you can substitute it with 1/3 cup of vegetable oil. This will slightly alter the texture but still result in delicious cookies.
