I'd love to give these 5 stars, but every batch came out flatter than pancakes. I even chilled the dough. Don't know what went wrong, but they were never like the picture or like the gourmet bake shop I wanted to copy. If anyone has any help, I'd love to know why they wouldn't rise. I used regular Cool Whip (whole tub), two eggs and a Duncan Hines chocolate mix.

Refrigerate the dough! It makes or break this recipe. And high altitude people, don't forget to add more flour! Great recipe nonetheless, but put the dough in the fridge for an hour or so and then the cookies won't be as flat.

I was anticipating enjoying these cookies, I'm a big fan of cool whip. I was very disappointed. I thought the cookies were very bland and tastelss. I did use light cool whip (but I use light everything and it never bothers me). I would not make these again, sorry!

Tasted good, but plain. I was hoping that it would be more exciting than it was, but lemon cake is always delicious! =D My best friend is a Raider's fan so I split the confectionary sugar into two bowls and poured black food coloring into one bowl so I could have black and white cookies for him. =D

Amazing!!! So good & easy! Dough is sticky, but if you drop it into the sugar and sprinkle w/ sugar before you touch it. Roll around in sugar and then it won't stick to you. As long as there is sugar on the dough you shouldn't have any problems.

yummo! I was wary of these when I saw them at a party, but am sooo glad I tried one. Now that I have made them I have a tip to make the process of powdering them a cinch. Drop about a 3rd of the dough in the powdered sugar and coat so you can pick up and handle the dough. Hold in one hand, gently pinch a piece off, drop in the sugar to finish powdering and drop on the cookie sheet. Occasionally re-drop the large piece of dough to be sure it stays nicely powdered and will not stick to your hand. Happy baking!

This was easy, and quite tasty. I did add one step: First I dropped the dough in granulated sugar to coat, then I moved it to powered sugar for a second coat. Seems to have helped the powered sugar stay nice and white after baking. (Stole that tip from a chocolate crackle cookie I make). I also used a small scoop to drop the dough into the sugar. Much easier than a spoon and helps it stay more round. They do spread a bit, so don't put them too close on the pan, or they'll stick together. I also tried a batch by just rolling in granulated sugar, then smooshing flat with a glass dipped in granulated sugar. You get a flat cookie this way, and although not as pretty, I think they tasted better this way.

I don't know if it was our oven, but we had to bake for ~10-12 minutes. Very popular and they went fast!

These have a great taste! The only change i made was i added Lemon extract. I only gave it a 3 because i had trouble getting the right timing down. The first time they over baked and the second batch under baked. This is the kind of cookie you need to keep a constant eye on. But they truly are delicious!

I had never made cookies using cake mix before I alsways made them from scratch, but I wanted to try something different. After making these cookies, they are very good. I will definitely try using different mixes. Thanks for the recipe.

I made one with chocolate cake mix and another with white cake mix with red food coloring. They had good flavor and consistency. One batch I didn't bake enough so they were really goooey, but still quite yummy. Sort of has a marshmallow like feel and consistency, very good and different.

Simply and Tastey! What more could a mom ask for?!! Yummy! If you don't like lemon, than use another cake flavor. Everyone that I shared these with thought they were yummy! If you want to make "your own" cookie vs. cut and bake- these are for you. Or, if you are cooking w/ a kiddie this is easy!

Oh, these are fun! Crazy recipe, but we loved them at our house. I used strawberry cake mix (kind with jello) and Fat Free whipped topping. Also, I cooked them on parchment paper instead of greasing the pan. I got 32 cookies out of the batch, but could easily have gotten 36. I did the calculations, and with fat free whipped topping at 32 cookies they had 94 calories each. If you make 36 cookies they will only have 85 calories. And these cookies are good!! The batter is goopy and hard to work with, but I took advice of other reviewers and just used 2 spoons, never touching the dough. Mine cooked for 10 minutes and are wonderful. Thanks for this really fun recipe!
