Have you ever tried a Cool Whip® Cookie?? Well if you haven’t you will enjoy my Strawberry Cool Whip® Cookies! They’re fun, colorful, easy to make, and 3 cookies are 187 calories!  Beware though, because they can be addicting! I can never eat just one! Make sure you don’t skip chilling the dough. The mix comes out super sticky, and 25 minutes in the fridge makes a world of difference!

If you enjoy fun and unique cookies, you will love our Banana Pudding Cookies!  They are so delicious, chewy, and the perfect idea for a different dessert.

Strawberry Cool Whip® Cookies

I admit that cookies are a weakness I have in my diet.  They are so easy to just grab one, two, then before you know it, you’ve eaten a dozen strawberry Cool Whip cookies.  When I practice self-control and portion control, these are some of the yummy cookies I want to be enjoying.  I love strawberry flavored foods, and this has just enough kick of flavor to satisfy my cravings.

Do strawberry cake mix cookies need to be refrigerated? 

No, they do not have to be refrigerated.  Once a dairy (or non-dairy) is baked into food it no longer has to be refrigerated.  If you added whipped topping or a dairy product to the top as a frosting, it would need to be refrigerated.

An example for this would be if you used a cream cheese frosting and put it between two of these yummy cookies.  The sandwich cookie would need to be refrigerated, but the cookie by itself would not.

Can I use other flavors for cake mix crinkle cookies? 

Yes!  One of my favorite things about making these cookies is how many options I have for flavors.  Strawberry is one of my favorites, but it is so easy to swap out a different cake mix flavor.  Some of my favorite combinations of flavors come from cake mix cookies.

  • Spice cake mix
  • Chocolate cake mix
  • Pineapple cake mix
  • Orange cake mix
  • Vanilla cake mix (and add cinnamon to mix)
  • Yellow cake mix (and add chocolate chips to the mix)

Pro tip:  For these strawberry cake mix cookies, chop of fresh strawberries to mix into the batter or a different texture.

Cookies aren’t the only yummy desserts with strawberries. I love this fresh fruit flavor, and of course, I enjoy adding the real fruit into my daily routine.  Of course, I always try to make any dessert a bit healthier.  Whether it is cutting out sugar, carbs, or fats, all of my recipes have a healthier option.  Below are two of my favorite healthier strawberry recipes for you to try!

Ingredients for Cool Whip® Cookies

  • Strawberry Cake Mix
  • Cool Whip® Lite
  • Egg Whites
  • Powdered Sugar

How to make Strawberry Cool Whip® Cookies

I always begin any recipe by gathering my supplies together so I have everything I need in place for easy access.  For baking cookies like these, I preheat the oven when appropriate.  Since this dough has to be refrigerated before baking, I would wait until I pulled it back out to roll into cookies to turn on my oven.

Tip: Use silicone baking mats on cookie sheets for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking or burning

You start by mixing together the egg whites and whipped topping.  This is easy with a hand mixer, and I feel a stand mixer is a bit too much for this recipe.  Next, you mix in the dry cake mix and then refrigerate the dough as directed.

To get the crinkle effect shown, you will roll the dough into balls an then dip those into the powdered sugar to coat before baking.
