Common Questions About Chocolate Cool Whip Cookies

Yes, using parchment paper makes sure the cookies don’t stick and ensures an even bake. It’s important for this easy cool whip cookies recipe. Really, it just makes life easier!
How chewy are these cookies?
Chocolate Cool Whip Cookies have a soft, chewy center thanks to the whipped topping, making them utterly irresistible. We’re using cake mix but only adding enough moisture to get a cookie consistency. You’re gonna love it!

Storing these is a bit unfamiliar for me, I’ll admit. These chewy cookies always get eaten before I have a chance to put them away!
