Description
These fun Neon Green Heart Cookies are perfect for parties and celebrations!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15 ounce) vanilla cake mix
- 8 ounce cool whip or frozen whipped topping (thawed)
- 1 egg (lightly beaten)
- 1 teaspoon neon green gel food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract (or a mixture)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- candy shaped hearts
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together cake mix, cool whip, vanilla or almond extract, food coloring, and lightly beaten egg until just combined. This can be done with a stand mixer, electric hand mixer, or even by hand. Cookie dough will be very sticky. To make it easier to work with, I recommend chilling it for 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet or baking pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Place powdered sugar in a small bowl. Using a small cookie scoop, place the rounded cookie dough into the powdered sugar and toss to cover. Gently press the cookie with the bottom of a glass or with your palm to slightly flatten the cookie dough.
- Place cookies on the lined cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Add candy heart to the middle of the cookie and bake for 8-11 minutes at 350°F.
Notes
- Chilling the dough helps prevent sticking.
- Try different food coloring for various cookie designs!
