Welcome to the world of Whipped Cream Delight Cookies! These cookies are a delightful fusion of simplicity and indulgence, perfect for any occasion or just a cozy afternoon treat. With just four ingredients, you’ll be amazed at how something so easy can taste so good.

Ingredients for Whipped Cream Delight Cookies

Vanilla cake mix serves as the base, providing structure and flavor to these cookies without the need for measuring flour, sugar, or leavening agents. It’s a shortcut that doesn’t skimp on taste. Whipped cream adds a lightness and airy texture to the dough, making these cookies soft and pillowy. The egg acts as a binder, holding everything together while adding a bit of richness. Finally, powdered sugar is used for dusting, giving the cookies a sweet, delicate coating that melts in your mouth.

Tips & Tricks

  • If the dough feels too sticky to handle, chill it in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
  • Try using chocolate cake mix for a chocolatey twist.
  • For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla or almond extract to the dough.

Serving Suggestions

These cookies are perfect on their own, but try serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert. For a more sophisticated touch, pair them with a glass of dessert wine or a hot cup of spiced tea.

Whipped Cream Delight Cookies Recipe Walkthrough

First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). It’s always good to start with the oven, so it’s ready to go when you are. Grab a large mixing bowl and dump in the vanilla cake mix. Add the whipped cream right into the bowl. You can use store-bought whipped cream, or if you’re feeling fancy, whip up some of your own.

Next, crack an egg into the bowl, and mix everything together until you have a smooth dough. It might seem a bit sticky at first, but that’s okay — it just means these cookies are going to be nice and tender.

Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. I find using a small cookie scoop helps keep them uniform, but your hands work just fine. Roll each ball in the powdered sugar until fully coated. This step is what gives the cookies that dreamy, snowy appearance.

Place the sugar-coated dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart. This gives them room to spread without merging into one mega cookie.

Pop them into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. You’re looking for the edges to be lightly golden. They might not seem fully set, but they’ll firm up as they cool. Allow them to sit on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
