Common Questions About Vanilla Cool Whip Cookies

Do I Really Need a Cookie Scoop?

While you can definitely use your hands, a cookie scoop helps you get uniform dough balls. This makes sure the cookies bake evenly and look picture-perfect.

What if My Dough is Too Sticky?

Don’t worry, it’s supposed to be that way. Rolling the sticky dough in confectioners’ sugar not only adds flavor but also makes handling easier.

Can I Use a Hand Mixer?

No need for one. This easy recipe can be mixed with just a spatula in a large mixing bowl. Simple ingredients, simple tools!

Storage

Never heard of Cool Whip cookies before? Well, I’m not shocked. I only recently came across these little delights. I’m glad I found them, though! They’re so good, chances are you won’t need these instructions for leftovers. Ha!

Refrigerator

Place your cookies in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to a week for best flavor.

Freezer

These cookies freeze well. Wrap them in plastic wrap and put them in an airtight container. They can last for up to 3 months.

Tips

If at all possible, get yourself a cookie scoop. It’s a huge help when you’re looking to make evenly-sized cookies, every time. Plus, the cookie scoop is really satisfying to use!

• Parchment Paper is Your Friend: Always line your prepared baking sheets with parchment paper for easy removal.
• Portion Control: Use a cookie scoop for equal-sized cookies, ensuring an even bake.
• Space it Out: Make sure to place the cookies about 1-2 inches apart on the cookie tray for good airflow.
• Cool Completely: Before storing, allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack to keep them from getting soggy.
