Description
Delicious Christmas Cookies with Cool Whip to Impress!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup Cool Whip, thawed
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
- 1/2 cup red and green sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the Cool Whip until the dough is smooth.
- Place the powdered sugar in a shallow dish. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out the dough and roll it into balls.
- Roll each ball in the powdered sugar until fully coated, then place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- If desired, sprinkle the tops with red and green sprinkles for a festive touch.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a fun twist, try adding 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract for a different flavor.
- You can also substitute the Cool Whip with a similar whipped topping for a dairy-free option.
