Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Cool Whip
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Cool Whip and granulated sugar until well blended.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until a thick dough forms.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of dough and roll them into balls.
- Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
- Place the dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are crinkled.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
