Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and prepare a baking sheet by leaving it ungreased.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, beaten egg, and Cool Whip. Mix well until a smooth, sticky batter forms. Don’t worry if it seems a bit too sticky; that’s how it should be!
3
Scoop spoonfuls of the batter and roll them into balls. Then, roll each ball in powdered sugar, ensuring they are fully coated.

Place the coated cookie balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart as they will spread during baking.
5
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye on them, as ovens can vary; the cookies may look slightly moist on top but will have a light golden brown underside.

Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
