I didn't use all the cool whip. These were a pain to make but well worth it. Everyone loves them!!

Yum, yes they were sticky but oh so worth it. Then I started Playing with the recipe reduced suger cake mix, suger free wipped topping. and I made a suger free powdered suger out of splenda and cornstarch. I didn't send my mother-in-laws blood suger through the roof and she had a cookie she could call her own. Sorry for making all the changes to your recipe. I make it just the way you say for the rest of the family,but big momma get's a little more TLC. Thanks for a cookie that fills the not just the "same ol cookie" void.

I'm giving these three stars because the ease of this recipe was very nice, but I did not like them at all, but that may not be the recipes fault, just my taste buds! They were way too sweet for me, and the baking time was way off in my opinion. At 12 min. they were still gooey, so I baked for more like 15 min. I will not be making these again. Sorry, but thanks for the chance to give them a try!

I made a few changes and the flavor was great. I added the juice from 1/2 a lemon to the batter and mixed it in my Kitchenaid mixer and I had no problems getting everything to blend. I also ran the beater between batches to keep it well blended. I added a package of Lemonade flavored koolaid to the powdered sugar. It gave the cookies a bit of tartness that reminded me of the Lemon Coolers that I believe Sunshine used to make. Next time, I may cook them longer than recommended at a lower heat so they will get crunchy without browning and I'll dip them back into the powdered sugar/lemonade mixture after baking.

Not really that impressed by these. Don't know if I did anything wrong.

These cookies are amazing! I don't like lemon cookies, but these were great! Will definitely make them again!

super easy and delicious! perfect!

Hmm... where do I begin? To start on a positive note, they were very pretty cookies. But the dough was entirely too sticky. I baked mine for 10 minutes, kept them in for 12, still didn't look done so I added an additional 3 minutes. Yes, they were soft chewy cookies, but I found them to be gooey and overly sweet. My second batch I kept in until they were nearly a golden brown. They were better because they were crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. But it wasn't good enough for me to finish baking the rest of dough. Update: I stored them in a ziploc bag and the next day the texture was better and the taste mellowed. IF I ever made these again I'd bake them a day ahead.

easy to make. watch the baking time, very easy to go over or under.

These are great! A friend gave me this same recipe but called them lemon drops. If you like soft chewy cookies then you will love these. I baked them on an airbake cookie sheet for about 14 minutes since baking on airbake cookie sheets make them lighter and less crusty than regular ones. My mother and I are going to make these for her next open house. (I shared a picture of how mine turned out.)

Yummy! Very easy. I used coconut cake mix (I didn't have lemon) and it reminded me of cocunt macaroon cookies.

Couldn't get these to work out at all --I ended up substituting 1/3 cup oil for the whipped cream, which tasted great.

These are amazing cookies. I brought them to a party and they were gone in no time. The dough is very very very sticky, but it's worth working with to get these cookies.

These cookies turn out light and lemony. They are very refreshing. Getting the cake mix completely blended into the whipped topping is a challenge, but well worth it! Everyone who tried them, liked them.

I absolutely LOVED these cookies. This recipe also works pretty well with other flavors of cake mix!!!

Even though this sounded easy... this was a terrible cookie recipe. I would not make this recipe again. Sometimes "too easy" is not worth it! Most cookies I have ever made from a box cake are not worth it..start from scratch!

MY KIDS AND I MADE THESE FOR THE FIRST TIME FOR THANKSGIVING THIS YEAR - OH YES, THEY WERE A MESS TO MAKE, BUT EVERYONE ABSOLUTELY LOVED THEM! WELL WORTH THE MESS AND WE ARE MAKING THEM AGAIN FOR CHRISTMAS - I THINK WE'RE STARTING A NEW TRADITION NOW! THANKS FOR SHARING THIS GREAT RECIPE!!!
