If you’ve ever seen a recipe post that I’ve shared here {they are few and far between}, you’ll have noticed that I like the words “quick”, “easy”, “simple”, and that I always mention that I am not much of a cook or baker. When I saw Debbie’s Cool Whip Cookies recipe that she shared here, I knew this was one I could handle.
For the gluten free version, I just used the Betty Crocker Gluten Free Cake Mix. I also used light Cool Whip, although, how many calories we are actually saving ~ who knows.
Gluten Free Cool Whip Cookies
1 8 oz. tub of Cool Whip
1 box of gluten free cake mix
1 egg
confectioners sugar
Preheat oven to 350. Mix together the first three ingredients until blended and smooth. (I used my mixer). Place parchment paper on your cookie sheet. Use a teaspoon to spoon some batter onto the parchment paper. Sprinkle tops with some confectioners sugar. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Mine took about 12 minutes in a gas oven.
Yeah, the first batch I used a tablespoon. The cookies were huge! That’s why I bolded “teaspoon” in the recipe. At that size, they took about 15 minutes to bake.
They were delicious and I always know a gluten free recipe is good when the husband will eat it. These are a great cookie to bring along if you are going to a party and want to bring a dessert, plus if you are gluten free, you actually get to eat something! Since they are so quick to bake up, it is also a good cookie to make when you have guests come over on short notice.
Thanks for such a quick and easy recipe, Debbie! (And thank your mother-in-law for me, too!).
Ha, sitting here singing the Cookie Monster song - C is for cookie, cookie, cookie, cookie....me want cookie! yum!

I have a friend who can't eat gluten. I love simple recipes like this one.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so good! The cookies look yummy too! Thank you for sharing this, Kathy. I missed it at Debbie's and am thrilled to see it here.
ReplyDeleteIt does look and sound good, and like you I like, quick and simple myself. Not to be a debbie downer, but Cool whip is nothing but chemicals, nothing real in it. I think I'd substitute with coconut cream and is pretty quick to make. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteYou are way ahead of me...I have never posted a recipe lol! They do look easy and I have to guess low calorie ? Thank you!
